Larrimah by Kylie Stevenson, Caroline Graham
5.0
Larrimah is a hard book to describe. On the surface a story of a man gone missing in the bush, Larrimah is so much more.
The authors paint a rich tapestry of the modern outback, linking the story of a man in a tiny town seamlessly into the yarns and tall tales of the bush all over the north of the continent, without ever losing the human element of a single tale.
Larrimah is a story of the authors quest for answers, but refuses as a novel to shy away from the questions it raises. It twists and turns and rarely goes in the direction the reader expects, however is always a story worth telling, and one you will want to tell your friends.
For anyone with an interest or history with the bush, and for fans of Australiana in general, Larrimah is unmissable.
