Resenhas

I finally finished this complicated and time shifting story told by Aljaz Cosini.
He is a river guide on the Franklin River in Tasmania and is fighting for survival as he struggles on a cliff in the rising waters. The story consists of flashbacks of his life and of his ancestors who were part of the penal colony, or miners or other trades trying to survive in the harsh landscape. Aljaz was a troubled lonely child of mixed blood who does not feel love or a sense of belonging to his past and yet this is what preoccupies his mind as he struggles to avoid drowning.
I found the story hard to follow as the timelines are all mixed up.

One of those books that it is difficult to put down. Doll, the pole-dancer, is the victim in a society corrupted by power and money. It's a bIt more interesting than that though.
