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.
