The Idea Of Perfection by Kate Grenville

I have just finished reading
The Idea Of Perfection by Kate Grenville.

The Idea Of Perfection Kate Grenville explores ideas of perfection and tells the story of a dying Australian
country town,Karakarook, and its hope that it will be saved by tourists coming to see The Bent Bridge.

The main antagonists are Douglas Cheeseman, a hapless engineer with a fear of heights, who has come to
tear the bridge down and Harley Savage who has come to help set a heritage museum and save the bridge.
Both Douglas and Harley are from the city, Sydney. The other characters in the book are the inhabits of
Karakarook.

I enjoyed reading this book. It is an amusing,well-written, enjoyable tale with great characters. I recommend it.


The next book book on my 'list' is: In Full View Essays by Lily Brett
