Oscar and Lucinda - Peter Carey


We say: *****

I tried to get going on this book about 4 times before I finally got to grips with it.
Boy am I glad I persevered!

It tells the tale of love, gambling, England, Australia, glass churches and impossible dreams.
It’s the kind of book that makes you finish what you started in your own life so you don’t have death bed regrets. Open every door, pursue every connection you may never get a second chance until its too late.

Magical and mesmerising and not only for the story. The writing is bewitching and drove me to buy every single work by Peter Carey I could get my hands on.
Never fails to amaze me how different his books are, not a stereotyping genre in sight.
