Hawke- The Prime Minister is a meticulous portrait of a wily, brilliant politician, uncompromisingly ambitious and at the height of his political powers.
Blanche d'Alpuget is the author of seven books, including four novels - Monkeys in the Dark (1980), Turtle Beach (1981), Winter in Jerusalem (1986) and White Eye (1993). Mediator: A Biography of Sir Richard Kirby was published in 1977. Robert J. Hawke: A Biography (1982) was both a national bestseller and the winner of several awards. After a long break, d'Alpuget returned to writing with a short work, On Longing, released in 2008.
"Blanche d'Alpuget takes as her starting point the extraordinary fascination of the Australian population with Bob Hawke and uses all the craft of the novelist to probe the personality of this contemporary folk-hero." --Anne Summers, Australian journalist and historian
