The Precipice - Virginia Duigan

[Jane B]

This book could have been good. Retired school principal, (and we all know how weird they can be)loses everything in the stockmarket crash, has to sell dream home in Blue Mountains and live in a crumbling cottage opposite. Becomes obsessed with the new neighbours and their niece, thinks the girl's uncle is a bit dodgy..takes him for a walk in the bush...and whoops! Unfortunately, Virginia Duigan made it incredibly long winded and verbose and stream of consciousness boring.
