Started reading this after I left Perth, and before I'll go back to it in a few weeks. It's great to read this "modern Australian classic" while spending some time around here. Whereas I normally struggle more with spiritual writing, this time it didn't make me want to leave the story too much. It did get a bit boring in some parts, though. The different characters are so well-developed and relatable, that for all their flaws and unlikeable traits, I wished all the best for them, and I literally squirmed at the idea of something bad happening to them. I'll be sad leaving those two families now.
