A review by tildahlia
Larrimah by Kylie Stevenson, Caroline Graham

4.0

I was a little wary of this book initially, as it felt a little too jokesy and folksy and I worried it would trivialise a serious story too much. Turns out my fears were unfounded, this form of wry humour is really the best reflection of the Larrimah way. It was clear as the book went on the authors developed meaningful and trusted connections to the town and its characters and had deep care for them. But there is a lot to be awestruck by. How one small town can fit this much interpersonal drama in it is astounding, but the unique character of it is well-drawn, alongside life in outback Australia. I really enjoyed this book and, like the authors, remain hungry for answers.
