Loved it. It's funny and its serious and the fact that it's set in 1974 in a time of great change in Australia is a really interesting perspective. For me, the stand out was the authenticity of the author's voice because this is obviously somebody that knows that part of rural Australia very, very well. Some of the landscape writing is just beautiful. I loved the scenes with the Whitlams too, I laughed out loud sometimes.
