Mateship With Birds by Carrie Tiffany
3.0
I found this a little perplexing and frustrating at times. The story centres around 2 neighbouring families in the Australian outback. The writing is quite beautiful and prosaic, however I found it a little disjointed at times and read more like interconnecting short stories rather than a novel.
I really enjoyed the nature notes and this is very much an ode to nature. My main problem was a serious incident occurs early on in the novel of such traumatic consequence that you would expect it to be allluded to again. It is kind of brushed over and I'm a little confused as to whether this is intentional and depicts the characters resignation at their lives and experiences. I find this hard to accept and for that reason I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought.
