$5.95
Softcover, read once, pages are unmarked.
345 pages, HarperCollinsPublishers, 2003. The photograph forms part of the description. ISBN-10: ******8222
Ex-boyfriend Jack drives his ex-girlfriend the 1400 kilometres from Sydney to Adelaide in a small car. Maria is going to Adelaide to meet up with her new boyfriend, and Jack offers her a lift because their former love relationship is now improperly defined. Hardly Beach Weather is a road novel of unremitting Australianness: the sheep in the tuckerbag, a lone woman watching for snakes, mutual misinterpretations of city and bush. Along the way, Jack and Maria are assaulted by stories of love and heartbreak told by strangers in every country town, by shopkeepers, drinkers, hitchhikers; these are tales which bust through motel walls, interrupt the radio cricket and endlessly remind Jack of his and Maria's failures and shortcomings. Despite all evidence, Jack maintains hope - and Maria is very, very patient.
All items have been cleaned with a disinfectant solution for your protection. Can be picked up from HILLARYS (any time) OR NOLLAMARA (school hours), or will post. To see all my current listings, click on my name: Riverdancer.
