When denied the heavenly fruit of a Christmas pudding, one of the title characters of this novel renounces his father's religion for the Anglican Church. The other title character has an equally traumatic childhood experience when she accidentally mutilates a doll that her mother has saved money in a jam jar to buy her. They meet as a result of their addictions to gambling on a ship bound for New South Wales, and upon arrival join together in a venture to transport a glass church across godforsaken terrain to a remote settlement. For 10 points-- this is what Booker prize-winning novel by Peter Carey?
