Read Kate Grenville if you haven’t and like literary tales based on real lives. I have loved each of her books. Daniel Rooke in this novel is a quietly introspective man who is transformed when he discovers from the young aboriginal girl Tagaran that learning one’s language is much, much more than the words. I was reminded of two other books read: J. L. Carr’s A Month in the Country and Christopher Isherwood’s A Single Man.
