Loading... By the River (2004)by Steven Herrick
   No current Talk conversations about this book. I've added this book to my favourites. It is sublime! The story of Harry Hodby, his father and brother Keith living in a small town somewhere in Australia. The scenery is described in poetry like prose as they live, fight, play and work in their community along with a mix of likeable and unlikeable characters. Funny at times and also sad at others, I highly recommend this book. (  ) PriscillaM | Jul 12, 2021 |  I didn't think I'd like this book. I was wrong - I loved it. Deeply moving. ( ) tracymjoyce | Nov 16, 2017 | Life is hard here. Periodically the river rises and floods this little Australian town. A beautiful poem of a book. (  ) debnance | Jun 1, 2014 | A fast paced read. A little deeper and heartfelt than 'Naked Bunyip Dancing'. The Latter is a great read aloud book (  ) jaseD | Oct 17, 2009 | Kearsten says: I liked this – it's a fast read, and contains some profound thoughts from a 14 yr old boy.
