My life is about to begin. This is the only thought in Irene's head the day she marries a handsome Second World War veteran. But irritation, frustration and disappointment follow as the couple start their life together on a remote Australian farm.
Rex, hard-working, reliable, agonised by love not returned and 'imprisoned in loneliness', bears mostly silent and inarticulate witness to Irene's flailing attempts to escape their claustrophobic existence. So do Girlie and Boy, their children, who to Rex seem like "the blurred faces on a passing train. Faces that never gained definition no matter how hard they stared."
Stark yet strangely comic snapshots document the inexorable disintegration of the family. Kate Jennings's black humour and muscular prose both pared down and rich in startling imagery, distil time and place in a work of literature that carves its exquisitely painful mark deep into the mind.
