This book (alongside seeing Tim Minchin and watching a show set in Australia) has made me soooo want to visit the country. The was she writes about the landscape is beautiful, imbued with a sense of home. But the crowning glory of this novel is the storytelling; whenever the narrative lulls, something happens to make us feel the characters are relevant and interesting all over again. I truly enjoyed this book :)
