Genre - Family Saga



What a great book. Short listed for the Booker. A rampaging, rolling Australian family saga that will keep you entralled all through the 700 plus pages. The Dean family are all intelligent but mad as hatters. They will lead you on a merry dance from Australia to Europe to Thailand and back again. I and out of prisons and mazes and weird adventures and romances. A wonderful book for a first novel. Like Gail Stone's "Sorry" it destroys my creative writing spirit - how could one better such creative writing and turns of phrase?
