Adelaide (The City Series) by Kerryn Goldsworthy

Worthy addition to my all-time greats. A fantastic read by an exceptionally skilled writer.

Adelaide by Kerryn Goldsworthy

Very entertaining and informative, with the right mixture of history, anecdote and personal memoir. However, it really does need some pictures of the statues, landmarks and photographs being discussed. Two chapters discuss particular iconic photographs but even these are not included.
