Our Sunshine is the tale of a man whose story outgrew his life, Robert Drewe's strikingly imaginative recreation of the inner life of Ned Kelly, the National Hero and Devil Incarnate of the Antipodes. Written with brilliant clarity and impressionistic economy, it carries the reader into a dreamworld of astonishing and violent revelation, an entrancing and frightening landscape of murder, sexuality, persecution, robbery, vanity, politics, and corruption.

Highest quality lyricism,
By A Customer
This review is from: Our Sunshine (Paperback)
Robert Drewes works have a dreamy quality suffusing history and stark realities with often absurd , surreal elements which lend them a poetic, lycrical quality. 'Our sunshine' is the story of Australian Bush Ranger Ned Kelly , told as never before. At once sympathetic and insightful , Kelley is a reluctant 'hero', larger than life and yet humbled , brought to love and disaster by the grinding wheel of fate and the harshness of colonial Australia. If you enjoy evocative , visual and just plain beautiful writing you must read 'Our Sunshine'.
