review 1: Like other books she's written, this one covers a long time period for a series of characters embedded in an Australian geographical context, this one being Perth/Pilbara between 1960-90. Having just moved to Perth, the description of the city and it's development was of some interest, but I there was less of the Pilbara than I had hoped. I find Nunn's style of switching between different character's point of view 'at random' irritating, but the story moves along quickly enough to prevent boggin down.
review 2: This book was enjoyed by some and disliked by others. It was a good read for the former, they could relate to it’s local setting and found it reminiscent of Cloud Street. For the latter, it was long-winded, verbose, contrived and unengaging and ungrip... moreping. They felt the author was writing from a formula which left the story with little depth and the characters undeveloped. It was thought that Nunn’s style of writing may have been influenced by the fact that she had been a soap actor and had a leaning towards script writing. The cover was found to be misleading and a put off, the over- use of slang was grating as was the name- dropping. The ending was sad and the immorality of the central characters was distasteful . Some suggested the novel may work better as a screen play. less
