5.0 out of 5 stars Another ripper, July 13, 2009
By Kookaburra (Australia) - See all my reviews
If you like White , you'll like this.A master in control and use of language , with superb use of metaphors as always.He can describe in a paragraph which mortal take a chapter to envisage.This is high art in its best form ,entertaining and brilliant.
As with all his books on amazon I'm amazed at the paucity of reviews.Anyone who aspires to be a writer must read these works-do you have what it takes?

5.0 out of 5 stars Patrick White's "Aunt Story" is a literary triumph, June 22, 1998
By A Customer
Theodore was not like other women. She had no time for all the niceties that many take for granted. Afterall, she was stuck at home caring for her bitter,and senile Mother. On the eve of the Mother's death, Theodore begins an odyssey to discover the meaning of life and existence itself. A haunting tale that grips the reader with all the intensity and anguish that a book can muster. A quality book suitable for the thinking reader
