"What a beautiful and sad story. It made me feel sad to the bottom of my stomach but smile at the same time. The the clarity of the writing deeply connected me to the characters and with what they thought and experienced. A great story. Amazing how sad things can make you calm and happy sometimes. Winton really hits a cord with me: the way childhood imagery and emotions evade adult life; how memories make adults sad but more aware. A great story."
