AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'If you liked the ABC's Seachange and Grassroots, you'll love The Buggerum Intrigue. Set in a fictitious town in regional Victoria, Australia, the novel and the quirky characters it portrays will be familiar to anyone who's dared to live outside a major city and experience life in the medium to slow lane. Told by Reg Reid, the village's postman of 35 years, who'd always had ambitions to become a writer but had never managed it until now, the secret lives of the residents come alive. Think of the exposés in Thornton Wilder's Our Town, with a generous dollop of Peter Carey wit.' (Publication summary)
