I’m looking forward to reading this. I gave it to my girlfriend’s Dad for his birthday a little while ago and he loved it (which was a relief for me). He, like Goldsworthy, grew up in South Australia and is about the same age, and was blown away by the accuracy of the novel’s details, both in description of place and time.

I’ve been a fan of Goldsworthy too, since high school Maestro days. Three Dog Night was interesting on many levels, so too Wish. Those three are so different, he is one of the writers I just read, just because. Great review…
