I enjoyed A Long Way From Home by Peter Carey which is set against the background of the Redex Trial, a race around Australia to prove the reliability of the cars used. A couple, Irene and Titch, leave their children and set off with their next-door neighbour, Willie, as navigator. All these are great characters with different goals. Later in the story, we learn more about Willie's background as an indigenous man, something he was unaware of and this takes the story in a different direction. A good read. 4/5Monday, January 21, 2019
