This wonderful book was a page-turner for me! I found it difficult to put down. Being in my late 70's with a rural background and parents already gone, everything resonated. I enjoyed the unique writing style, the honesty, humour and lightness. Also the tenderness. A courageous, brilliant work. More please ...
This is one of the most compelling books I've ever read. The impetus to write it was her mother's death (in very old age and suffering with dementia) at the hands of her father. The book is not just another "misery memoir" though; it is also, the story of three generations of a family on the land (in Queensland), their lives evoked - quite strikingly - using the techniques of fiction. This book has real - indeed great - merit. And I believe it is one that may even garner some prizes...
Very authentic descriptions of North Queensland and the family situation. Such bravery!
