Critical receptionThe reviewer in The Advertiser found a lot to like but not much plot: "there is much that is genuinely interesting in the book: a great deal of rather malicious humor. unmerciful debunking, racy descriptions of things that are completely and uniquely Australian, and a sincere appreciation of the Australian character."[2] The reviewer in The Sydney Morning Herald came to a similar conclusion: "In her latest novel. Miss Tennant displays all those qualities which placed her, in 1035, in the front rank of Australian writers of fiction. The reader will meet here an assortment of easily comprehensible and fantastic men and women, equal in colour and variety to those met in "Foveaux" and "The Battlers." The author is slowly but, surely crystallising her extraordinary flair for characterisation. As yet Miss Tennant's sense of form falls short of her exuberant sense of life and movement. Her novel is full of incident-full to the brim with happenings that jostle one another for pride of place. This gives the book a bright, kaleidoscopic atmosphere rather than the more rounded, mature outline of a finished work of art."[3] Notes
Television adaptationThe novel was adapted for Australian television in 1979. The mini-series was screened over 4 episodes and was directed by Carl Schultz, from a script by Peter Yeldham, and featured Liddy Clark, Noni Hazlehurst, and Henri Szeps.[5] See also
