A review by dnauvrg
The King of a Rainy Country by Brigid Brophy

5.0

Brilliant, quite poignant. For all the whimsy and mischief of Susan and Neale's travels, Susan's own quieter personal journey/growth is the true story here and Brophy renders it with great tenderness and understanding. Many times I've read a book and been disappointed and frustrated with the lack of certainty at the end, but I feel perfectly content and even sort of thrilled with the many ambiguities The King of a Rainy Country leaves us with.

Cheers to Coelacanth Press for bringing this book back! I am already planning to reread it.
