Disobeying by far the best, otherwise more of a casual read

Fun but weird collection of short stories. Had a 70s vibe, bit of magic realism. Good for reading before bed, as the stories are very gentle in tone.

An excellent collection of short stories! Some eerie and others darkly humorous! I appreciated the twist in thinking, it was also nice to get some Australian references (though they wouldn't make the story hard for a non-Australian to understand)

It's an anthology of magical realism short stories. Sometimes gets dark but never too much.
