Flippin' heck, mate.
I'll admit that I haven't been much of a fan of Carrie Tiffany's previous novels but this is such a tightly-wound piece of literature. Every sentence is note-perfect. Every line is strange and alienating, the kind of words and phrases that would make no sense if removed from their context but are exactly right within it. Never have the seemingly meaningless minutiae of an Australian family road trip been so accurately catalogued, revealed in all their harsh power. This is a brutal novel, be warned. It's short, thank god, because the subject matter is ultimately devastating. But if you have the stomach for an unpleasant narrative of an abuse (primarily in the subtext rather than the text) you will be rewarded with prose that is somehow both restrained and torrential.… (más)

Really good on multiple levels. History, romance, life on the land, anecdotes, humour. Loved it.
What an amazing piece of writing. Carrie Tiffany has found the voice of young teen and written with such purity and credibility. She draws you into the girl's mind--the whole book is a long stream of thoughts. The girl is one moment naïve, the next profound. One moment content, the next morbid.
I had noted good reviews of Tiffany's earlier books. Now I must read them.

Somehow however, for me the story never gets off the ground. I love Tiffany's descriptive powers, her rich use of vocabulary. I may read more of her work. But this one? I shan't open it again.
