I saw the author speaking at last year's Australian Short Story Festival and was intrigued by the structural conceit behind this, her most recent book; it's in three different sections, with the first narrated in the first person, the second in the second and the third in the third. The third section includes the title story, which is more of a novella, about a female Australian prime minister and her interactions with a surly neighbour and her advisor. I enjoyed the collection, which is well crafted, without being especially surprised by anything in it.
