catanneb 's review for:
True History of the Kelly Gang
by Peter Carey
3.5
2001 Booker Winner
My reading goal this year is to read all of the Booker Winners from 2000-2025. This is 2001’s winner and it tells the true story of a young Irish man in Australia whose poverty and life circumstances turn him into an ‘outlaw’. The author paints a vivid picture of ‘frontier Australia’ and I found the history fascinating. Took me a while to get used to the whole book being written in the style of how the author imagines Ned Kelly would have spoken.
