The Idea of Perfection | 
pickI'm starting to really love Kate Grenville. The novel is a tiny bit heavy-handed here and there and to be honest I think one entire storyline could have been left out, but I loved Harley and Dennis, the setting, the detail, the beautiful descriptions. 🌟🌟🌟🌟
pickFound in a little free library . The best descriptions of the Aussie country side. Right at the beginning she describes a country pub. I was taken right back to my memories of the many country pubs I have visited long ago. However her long beautiful descriptions at times got a bit too much for me. I wanted the story to move faster. I think in her later books she got the balance right. A great Aussie writer.

A great idea as it's interesting to look back at a month's reading and reflect on what books stood out. In Feb highlights included 'left hand of darkness' and 'shadowplay' but I'm going to go with a very gentle love story set in a remote Australian town where 2 curious misfits seem destined not to find each other.
From recollection this was a v heartwarming tale at a point in 2021 when everything seemed v bleak
pickLoved this story of two misfits Harley and Douglas who visit a small Bush Town, H to create a heritage museum, D to dismantle a bridge despite community protest. Both older with mixed experience of past love their paths cross & this makes for a gentle and compelling tale told with love of character, wordplay, and the community as well as a great sense of place.

Just started this one, and I'm liking it more than expected so far.

What book has been languishing unread on your shelves the longest? I've had this sitting untouched for years and I've no idea why!
