The Place on Dalhousie by Melina Marchetta
5.0
Melina Marchetta has done it again. Her book has blown me away by its sheer awesomeness. Marchetta is just a fantastic writer, I couldn't put this book down. Her dialogues especially are insanely good.
This time around Jimmy Hailler is one of the protagonists, along with Rosie and Martha. The book revolves around how tricky it can be to build a family if you've never really had one, how to deal with seemingly evil stepmothers and a beautiful house on Dalhousie.
It also felt so good to be reconnected again with this fantastic group of friends and to read about what they've been up to since The Piper's Son. The love they have for each other just heals my soul. I never want to stop reding about them. There definitely need to be books about Justine and Siobhan, that would be just fair.
