Just when I stop expecting each NR Walker world to be a departure from her past worlds, she writes yet another book that distinguishes itself from her others. I enjoyed this one at least as much as her others.
As far as narration goes, meaning and emotion were well conveyed, but the two main characters didn’t sound that different from each other, especially when it came to class and region. I expected them to have different accents. Rather than using one non-Australian narrator, why couldn’t they have used two different Australian actors? It’s more common to have two different actors for dual POV narration, and for an Australian book I think they both should be Australian.
