Thank you. I have never heard of this novel, and just at the moment I don't think I could bear to read it, too much death everywhere, but it sounds as if it has been beautifully written, and I will seek out the writer. Has he other books?

Yes, I completely understand that. It's a very beautiful and sad book for another time, perhaps. Yes, he has written many other novels, and he is also a marvellous poet. If you check my Index (I can't work out how to link to things in comments), there's another newsletter on his first novel JOHNNO, which is a terrific coming-of-age story set in Brisbane.
