In this novel, Elizabeth and Abel keep money hidden in jam jars throughout their farm, each dedicated to saving for a different cause. Another character in this novel is the son of a preacher who forces him to throw up his Christmas pudding, leading to his conversion to Anglicanism. That character justifies his lack of faith with the argument that believing in God is itself a (*) bet, much like his own frequenting of the Epsom race track. The two title characters are drawn together by their love of gambling, leading to a bet involving the transportation of a glass cathedral across the Australian wilderness. For 10 points, name this novel by Peter Carey.
