The Rainy Season
SHORT-LISTED for the 2009 Melbourne Prize for Literature Best Writing Award for a work of 'outstanding clarity, originality and creativity by a Victorian writer, 40 years or under'.
'The Rainy Season is successful on many levels. Primarily, it’s the story of a young woman coming to terms with her feelings of rejection and gaining a sense of herself; but it’s also a vivid picture of expatriate life, the exuberance and recklessness of youth, a tortured country coming to terms with change, and the agony of the once-young fighters who were largely reviled or unacknowledged when they got home. Finally, it is a vibrant description of a lively, chaotic and contradictory city and culture. A wonderful achievement.'
