The Merry-go-round in the Sea | Randolph Stow

2 posts | 1 read | 1 reading | 1 to read

In 1941, Rob Coram is six. The war feels far removed from his world of aunties and cousins and the beautiful, dry landscape of Geraldton in Western Australia. But when his favourite, older cousin, Rick, leaves to join the army, the war takes a step closer. When Rick returns from the war several years later, he has changed and Rob feels betrayed. The old merry-go-round that represents Rob's dream of utopia (the security of his family and of the land that is his home) begins to disintegrate before his eyes.

The Merry-go-round in the Sea | Randolph Stow

Geraldton - childhood home of Randolph Stow. I was surprised there was so little acknowledgement of his work. But we did find the modern day version of the merry-go-round in the sea.

The Merry-go-round in the Sea | Randolph Stow

A bit of an Australian theme happening here with my annual local fair book haul (with the exception of Maggie O‘Farrell) 👍.

In addition to these hubs bought 2 and our 9yo picked up 6 books, so a pretty good morning all round.
