Quite beatiful story of a young engineer, his love for an actress and the building of the Goldfields water pipeline that brought water to the parched goldfields at Kalgoorlie just over 100 years ago. Full of odd bits of information. The style didn't quite gell with me, as it is written in vignettes of no more that three pages requiring the reader to place them into the structure of the the story, as if doing a jigsaw. It's an interesting technique but I found it rather distancing. However it's still a really interesting book and worth reading, particularly if you have an interest in Western Australia...

In the warm alkaline waters of the public bath a headstrong young engineer accidentally collides with a beautiful actress. From this innocent collision of flesh begins a passion that takes them from the Wiltshire Downs to the most elemental choices of life and death in the Australian desert. Their intense romance is but part of the daring story that unfolds. Mingling history, myth and technology with a modern cinematic and poetic imagination, Robert Drewe presents a fable of European ambitions in an alien landscape, and a magnificently sustained metaphor of water as the life-and-death force.
