![]() The characters we meet, no matter how ordinary their circumstances, are afforded a dignity and are convincingly rendered, albeit glossed by the disclaimer at the book’s opening that 'Some of the characters, especially the homicidally inclined, have been camouflaged for their own protection.’ Throughout this well paced and at times slyly ironic memoir, Burnside excels as a guide through his inner life and its complex, shifting terrain whether sharing hard-won epiphany or hellish visions recalled from the depths of his illness, where 'the dead wait to welcome us like ushers at a wedding’. ![]() Early on he describes how Harry, a companion at an AA meeting, 'sat there, his face and hands soft?…?the way they might have been for a lost child or a bird trapped in a conservatory’. ![]() Burnside has an ability to lend a beauty to the mundane and the debased. ![]()

This time around Dorothy is on a voyage to Australia to help soothe her Uncle Henry's rattled nerves (running a farm with hair-brain, heartless, cowardly help will do that to you!) when a storm washes her overboard.
