"This book raises Thea Astley's reputation even higher than it was. It is a measure not only of her knowledge, but of her curiosity, and it demonstrates the magnitude of her skills."
Australian Book Review
From the Miles Franklin Award-winning author of Drylands.
Leverson, the narrator at the centre of these stories, calls himself a 'people freak'. Seduced by north Queensland's sultry beauty and unique strangeness, he is as fascinated by the invading hordes of misfits from the south as by the old established Queenslanders. Leverson's ironical yet compassionate view makes every story, every incident, a pointed example of human weakness - or strength.
