What an odd book. I don't mean that the writing is odd - it's actually very good. The characters are odd, but they are also unique. I don't think I have encountered any like them before. The plot is also odd - very odd. I don't want to give anything away, but things do not work out quite the way I expected. Which is probably a good thing.
It's a historical novel, set in Australia and England in the 1860s. There is a minimal framework where it seems that a modern great-grandchild is actually telling the story. The framework is really only needed for the final twist at the end - and no I won't reveal what that odd plot twist is - you'll have to read those 400+ pages to see what it is.
