Author: Karen Manton
Publisher: Crows Nest, New South Wales: Allen & Unwin 2021
Annotation: Toying with the isolation of being new to a place of great history, The Curlew's Eye takes Greta through the unease of her husband's family past and secrets as they travel to sell the old family home.
Linked to the common experience for many, that Australia is a place new and yet deeply old, the weight of the unknown is leveraged against the reader in seeking to discover traumatic pasts.
The compelling narrative drives forward a notion of intrigue and discovery, and creates a solid sense of place in the Northern Territory landscape.
