"Great Australian author Stead wrote this brilliant novel about the Pollits family, and set it in the USA at the behest of her agent. Jonathon Franzen said it best when he said it “makes Revolutionary Road look like Everybody Loves Raymond. "

The set is beautiful - incredible scenery. (1 more)
Mysterious and atmospheric.
Weak plot. (2 more)
Dull in part.
No real likeable, standout characters.
Australian Drama - dark and mysterious.
There are hugely contrasting views on the credibility of this show, so it's going to be down to personal taste.

Book Favorite

"Here’s a novel of intimate emotion and historical sweep. It tells the twin stories of an Australian doctor’s melancholy love affair and his appalling experience as a war prisoner building the Burma Railway. Most potently, Flanagan makes use of his own father’s real-life biography in telling his story."

"This is a recent Booker-winning novel with Tolstoyan ambitions that presents the horrors inflicted on Australian prisoners of war by the Japanese during World War II in Burma - and then turns around and gives us a compassionate portrait of the defeated Japanese. A book distinguished by its big heart and beautiful language."

"Another flawless movie. Like, the way it starts out, it’s like, I wanna work with that guy forever. And a good friend of mine, or two good friends of mine, are in that Blue Tongue film group, that Australian filmmakers group. And, you know, they had to set up an incredible vision. Really, really human, really dark, really disturbing."

Lost Man
As with all Harper's books the biggest character is the landscape and here it is the Australian outback. This is the third of her books that I've read and her best. One family in the middle of nowhere with dark secrets which l develop and unfold centred around one dead man. Excellent and gripping read. Recommended
