I don’t know if this is a great book, but it’s really good. The novel tells the story of a 139 year old con man whose life parallels the development of Australia from the beginning of the twentieth century. The only problem is that, because it is told by a con man, how much can we believe what he tells us? Of course, this is the question that all books raise.
