It is such a good story, so revealing and so simple at the same time as being evocative of the New Zealand and the isolating condition you refer to in your comments on reviewing books here. <br />At the same time, I believe she is one of our bravest novelist in attempting to tackle head-on current political and social affairs in her novels.<br />Mike Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706093249162779819noreply@blogger.com
