Description
Mina Pereira's has never been your average Australian household. Her elder sister Deepa was so brainy she calculated the family tax returns at the age of three and read Solzhenitsyn at eight. Mina's mother, employed in palliative medicine, has recently embarked on her own death-obsessed 'State of Emergency' since undergoing surgery. She has become unaccountably and acquisitively passionate about birds' nests and all things ornithological. Meanwhile Mina's father, who Mother refers to as show more 'Inspector Gadget', has retreated into the basement of the house, ostensibly to rewire and repair foundations. Homelife undergoes a kind of Partition, with Mother virtually roosting above and Dad self-defencively burrowing below. How is a girl to react? show lessTags
