This is a story full of the rich humour peculiar to Australians. It‘s a tale of contrasts. Happiness and sadness, beauty and harshness, levity and seriousness. While this is a dystopia, it isn't like most I've read. Much nvolved surviving in an inhospitable environment. Descriptions in Rain were first-rate. I greatly enjoyed how Walter‘s culture came through, not just with colloquial language, but its essence also. 4*
