review 1: OK, I normally don't write reviews but this book i just weird. Ok at first I loved it with it's beautiful language and observations, but then it got worse and worse and by the end i just hated this book. I rated it two because of the observations and language is beautiful but the storyline is all whacked up. It is only over a two day period but to much happens and the ending is just to weird and the ending is depressing. I really dislike this book but i mean no offence if you like it. I guess it would be a good book for those type of people who are into that deep emotional turmoil books about someone finding themselves, though if you are into something that is packed with action and just where things are at least a little likely to happen, because i just think this book wo... moreuld work so much better is all that happens is spread out and over a longer time period. Just saying.
review 2: I was reminded of Alex Miller in the beautiful word pictures the author paints with her writing. She inhabits the mind of this young girl "Mannie", who catches an early morning train from Daylesford to Melbourne "on business". She makes intruiging observations about the people she meets, and has memories of her life with her family - her brother Eddie, her quiet country vet Father, and her French mother who suffers from a kind of manic depression, which makes life in the household a bit up and down. She reminisces about Harry, her first love, and has an internal dialogue between her "Mean self" and her true self. less
