The House of the Lord is a tragicomic Australian novel set around Johnny Rigos, the son of a Greek-Australian family, and Bertie Warble, a suburban boy restless with his ordinary upbringing. In 1969, the two form an intense bond and set out on a half-formed journey toward Central Australia, mixing friendship, faith, innocence, rebellion and disillusionment.
