I agree with your sentiments, but I did find it a riveting read - the characters were very intense and Tsiolkas raises a lot of issues that confront ordinary people. I loved how he moved the story along - each character picking up from the last and…
I often find that Australian novels dwell on long descriptions of boring inactivity - all in beautiful prose. This novel is not dissimilar. London's prose is beautiful and not much happens, yet this book is really engaging. Set in Melbourne, the sto…
Frederick Douglass began life as an American slave. He faced incredible hardships in a bid to lead a good life - learning to read and write (illegal for slaves) was just one major hurdle. Becomming known for his abilities as an orator and writer, h…

Josh has biza…

Truth is the beginning of the sequel to Peter Temple's "The broken shore". It's about violence, battery, crime, corruption and deceit
His clarity grabs you from the start and an engaging novel (which is what I love).
It's well paced and evocative.…
