Works about this Work

Scratching the Surface : Trevor Shearston’s New Novel Andrew McLeod , 2021 single work review
— Appears in: Australian Book Review , March no. 429 2021; (p. 35-36)

— Review of The Beach Caves Trevor Shearston , 2021 single work novel

'At the heart of Trevor Shearston’s latest novel, The Beach Caves, is the act of digging. The protagonist, Annette Cooley, is a young archaeology student, thrilled by the allure of her Honours supervisor’s most recent find: the stone remains of an Aboriginal village on the New South Wales south coast that could rewrite the pre-European history of Australia. Intriguing additional sites are soon discovered, but before long the air of excitement is replaced by one of suspicion, jealousy, and dread when a member of the dig team disappears.' (Introduction)
