FREE READER ¼ TEXT↠ OneThis novel is exuisite The chase the violent conflict physical and moral at its heart I'm embarassed to say I've never heard of the Kenniffs Australia's last bushrangers But I'll never forget them now As wonderful as the story and characters are for me especially the girl who even without a name impresses herself so forcefully on the story it's the Australian landscape that is the hero of this novel so very hard so very beautiful burning with gold and vermillion mysterious in its darknesses; ultimately mysterious Along with Life of Pi this is the best novel I've read this year
FREE READER ¼ TEXT↠ OneBeautifully written story about the hunt for the last bushrangers in Australia It reminded me very much of The Burial by Courtney Collins a story about a female bushranger uite poignant in its portrayal of the policeman Nixon relentlessly pursuing the outlaws and Jim Kenniff the leader of the gang Who was in the right Captures the period and the starkness of the landscape really well
