I don't live in Adelaide, I don't live anywhere near Adelaide. In fact, I don't even live near Australia (born, raised and still living in Spain), but now I'm left longing for a walk in West Terrace Cemetery and longing even more for a visit to the city of Adelaide.
I bought this book because I'm working in writing project set in Adelaide and West Terrace Cemetery is a location of quite importance - not massive, but still worth researching - and this book seemed like Heaven-sent to me. I have always been fond of graveyard, how individual stories are hidden behind every grave, behind every monument... People with all kind of lives, dreams, wishes and experiences are there and you can't help to wonder about their story, what they experimented when they were alive.
Quiet City certainly answers to all of these questions, taking the reader in a literary journey across West Terrace Cemetery while discovering the lives and deaths of their inhabitants. I wish every cemetery in the world could have a book like this but I'm grateful for this one existing for WTC.
