The Idea Of Perfection

Kate Grenville


Winner of the Orange Prize. Doreen thought this a very poor book, a Mills & Boon pretending to be something else. Ridiculous, she can't imagine why the author wrote it.

This is set in Australia and has two middle-aged main characters who are very well portrayed. One is obsessed by concrete and the author has done a great deal of research about the subject of bridge building, but the narrative is poor.
