review 1: I must say that I bought this in Texas to quell some slight home-sickness (the front cover had a gorgeous photo of the SOH), and was pretty unconvinced by the first 50 pages or so. It did grab me more as the characters' back-stories were fleshed out, but, ultimately, quite a let-down. Dreamy, hazy, repetitive prose; unconvincing sense of timing. On the plus side, I liked how the themes of memory and chance and life as an unpredictable journey fed into the story.
review 2: Four people come together at Circular Quay at Sydney Opera House. They all have a secret/ something that they cannot get over-over the course of a day we learn about each of them. Characters did not really engage me. There was too much poetic language at times which bogged the story down. It i... mores a short novel or I may have had to give up on it. Liked the way it came together at the end though or I may have only given it 2 stars. less
