    5.0 out of 5 stars Your Tribe Michael - and I am seeing My Tribe in sharp relief!
    Reviewed in Australia on 1 February 2015

    Brilliant piece of writing - something of "Scout"-quality in "To Kill A Mocking-bird", too.

    A coming-of-age story of immediate pre-puberty-like clarity and innocence.

    And a heart-warming window on another culturally diverse ethnic group in this Australian environment.

    My father was born in St. Peter's (Unwins Bridge Road) - in 1927. A twin. His mother from Scotland.

    Like all families - complexities. Marriages and deaths and births. Celebrated in culturally appropriate ways - observed by younger members trying to make sense of the ceremonies and of the human behaviour within the parameters of culture and personality.

    So very interesting, a fascinating look at an immigrant family in Australia seen through a young boys eyes, their culture and tradition. The detail is exquisite and felt immersed in this family.

    A slice of Sydney, and a look into a world I'd only ever seen from the outside. The writing is refreshing and honest
