Twenty Seven Seventy
on March 14, 2012
Based around a single incident from converging viewpoints, this punchy book gives an insight into Sydney's multicultural society, in particular working-class Mt Druitt (the book takes its title from the suburb's postcode). Don't expect suspense and don't expect plot - this is more about a social situation. But it's packaged well and sustains pace and interest. A quick edit would tidy up some little glitches, but these don't detract from this fine effort.
