Not as good as his latest - Breath. (  ) yosbooks | Jun 25, 2009 |  Hard to get into story about two friends who aren't getting on so well after they leave school. They go on a fishing holiday on an abandoned area only to find that a hermit lives there. There's a secret that drives the two apart and causes real difficulties for one of the friends. Things are slowly unveiled as the story goes on, but if anything things get even more complicated. (  ) Ardwick | Mar 18, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0330412582, Paperback)Jerra and his best mate Sean set off in a beaten-up old VW to go camping on the coast. Jerras friends and family want to know when he will finish university, and when he will find a girl. But they dont understand about Seans mother, Jewel, or the bush, or the fish with the pearl. They think he needs a job but what Jerra is searching for is more elusive. Only the sea, and perhaps the old man who lives in a shack beside it, can help.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:03 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
