Sensitivity personified,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Long Afternoon (Hardcover)
This book left me in tears as the characters in it had become so real that the circumstances in which they were placed almost took over me as I read from page one to the end and became increasingly mindful of scenes of my early childhood in rural Victoria, Australia. The characters in some way reminded me of my grandmother on my paternal side and the life of ease that had passed with the collapse of the jute futures market in the 1930's when the family fortunes were lost. The tensions between the two brothers, the pain of the life of the father made me mindful of my own family and brothers etc and so the whole book is a sensitive and creative mixture of peoples lives and their interactions in a bygone time in between the two world wars.
