Never having been to Australia and unfamiliar with much of the slang used in the novel, I nevertheless was completely captivated by the wonderful descriptions of the rugged Australian landscape, as well as the quirky characteristics of the principal characters.
Luther Fox came off the most sympathetic due to everything he'd endured in his past and was still enduring. His drive and (stubborn) determination to free himself of his demons was heartwrenching.
Georgie Jutland, the woman who he becomes obsessed with, is also trying to elude her demons. They make an unusual pair in that Georgie is still tied to her partner (a tough fisherman and sworn enemy of the Fox family) and initially cannot decide what move to make.
The writing is lyrical with crisp dialogue, and the plot moves along, dividing its chapters between Georgie and Luthor and their quests for individuality.
A real page-turner.
