review 1: Normally I feel like I have explored a hidden part of Australia when reading a Di Morrissey book. This particular novel was very slow to evolve and definitely not one of her best efforts. The story seemed somewhat fanciful and lacking the character depth of other novels. For those who have just started reading Di Morrisey don't be disheartened by this one. I would recommend reading Barra Creek, Tears of the Moon or The Kimberley's.
review 2: I'm reading this book for research purposes. I'd really hoped to be surprised by this book. Afterall Morrissey is one of our more successful authors here in Australia. The overall story isn't too bad, the characters are okay. It is the quality of writing that I'm struggling with. I feel like I'm reading a book that was ... morewritten for school kids in year 3. To finish or not to finish, I keep hoping that it will improve by the time the characters reach the Northern Territory..Definitely the last Di Morrissey book that I read. Nana material. less
