Overview: In this engrossing, extraordinarily well-crafted novel by the author of Careful, He Might Hear You, seven red-headed children - six girls and a boy in the middle- whose father dies between a bite of toast and a sip of tea are transplanted from the Australian outback to a suburb of Sydney, there to deal in their several ways with unexpected and unprepared-for poverty. Exacerbating these unfortunate circumstances is their mother's alienation, so profound that in her state of waking dream she hears the wheels of a carriage and, convinced that her husband is returning to her, rushes out and is crushed to death. From this point the children take over, each according to individual gifts and ambitions, each distinctive because Elliott's empathetic imagination understands both their virtues and their sins. There is Adnia, born with a crooked foot and destined for a moment's perfect happiness bestowed by a passing sailor, and Jess, reared in riches by an indulgent aunt but learning when the old woman dies that she has riches of her own. Shining a little more brightly than the rest is Sidney, who writes short stories by night and peddles them by day, becomes a smashing success, and falls in love wtih a charming, irresponsible clarinetist, beloved as well of her younger sister. Each of the siblings and their milieu and time (the early decades of this century) comes alive and remains memorable in a novel whose insights keep equal pace with the author's smooth and beguiling prose. Literary Guild "Editor's Corner" selection.From Publishers WeeklyFrom Library Journal:Forced to fend for themselves after the death of their parents, the seven Lord children make choices that re-create their familial roles. Eldest Lily, for instance, becomes an active socialist but never entirely gives up trying to keep the family together, while snobbish Jess becomes the paid companion to her rich aunt. In telling their story, Locke, Australian author of Careful, He Might Hear You, explores themes of guilt, repression, and disappointment. The story shifts from one character to another, allowing the author to examine events from various points of view, but recurring images unify the narrative. Locke creates some very poignant scenes, and the conclusion of the novel is both dramatically and thematically satisfying.

Not entirely to my refined tastes. It verged on repetitive in the second act. A more concise edit would have served it well. Unlikely to reread, but a reasonable expenditure of time.

I find myself somewhat conflicted. It possessed moments of brilliance, but the narrative felt slightly disjointed ultimately. Perhaps more aligned with a different audience's tastes.
