This novel is so very Australian. It is dry, harsh, remote, insular and witty. It's full of subtle observation and originality, and is very evocative of a particular time in Australia's history when connections to a broader world were opening up and we started to turn away from our British motherland and look towards the sparkle of post-war USA. It's a clever novel and I enjoyed reading it.
