I was in a nearby country town last week so, of course, visited the local library while I had the chance. As I wandered around I couldn't help but notice a man who'd looked like he'd just walked in from a big morning out in a dusty paddock, but was so enthralled with a book that he was reading that he didn't once move on the sofa he was lounging on, or give anyone else in the building so much as a curious glance...
It got to me in the end and so I just had to approach and ask him what book could capture his attention so thoroughly. It was 'Secret River' by Kate Grenville, the first book of a trilogy - one that is now firmly on my to-read pile!
