About this product

Product Information

Harley Savage is a large, rawboned, plain person with a ragged haircut and a white t-shirt coming unstitched along the shoulder. Douglas Cheeseman is a big-eared man who avoids his own reflection, and has bored his wife into leaving him. They are not the usual suspects for a burgeoning romance.

Slow moving, with very insightful observations about characters and human behaviour. Well researched, well written. A joy to read.

A slow read.
A rather slow read, although it gives an interesting insight into the outback.
