A charming, eclectic collection of short stories. I particularly enjoyed the final piece, which I suspect is a semi-autobiographical exploration of an immigrant child's experience of suburban Australia. What let down the collection was the longest of the stories in the middle of the book, which happened to be my least favourite of the bunch.

There were some lovely stories in this collection, but I struggled to recapture much enthusiasm after dragging myself through the long story in the middle. I loved Black Rock, White City, but this didn't hit the same heights for me.
