Histoire
At just 16 years Danny Dunn has everything going for him: brains, looks, sporting aptitude - and luck with the ladies. His mother steers him towards a university education, but with just six months of his degree to go, he signs up for the AIF, driven by a desire to serve his country and plain wanderlust. Danny serves in South-east Asia, spends three and a half years as a POW, and returns a broken man, embittered and facially disfigured. He is scared and overwhelmed by the need to sort himself out, to find out who the hell he is....

Histoire
The four fires in this story are passion, religion, warfare, and fire itself. While there are many more fires that drive the human spirit, love being perhaps the brightest flame of all, it is these four that have moulded us most as Australian people. The four fires give us our sense of place and, for better or for worse, shape our national character.

Histoire
From the author of The Power of One comes a new novel about Africa. The time is 1939. White South Africa is a deeply divided nation with many of the Afrikaner people fanatically opposed to the English. The world is also on the brink of war, and South Africa elects to fight for the Allied cause against Germany. Six-year-old Tom Fitzsaxby finds himself in The Boys Farm, an orphanage in a remote town in the high mountains, where the Afrikaners side fiercely with Hitler's Germany.

Histoire
This is Bryce Courtenay's moving tribute to his son, Damon, a hemophiliac who died from medically acquired AIDS on April 1, 1991, at the age of 24. April Fool's Day is controversial, painful and heartbreaking, yet has a gentle humor. It is also life-affirming, and, above all, a testimony to the incredible regenerative strength of love: how when we confront our worst, we can become our best. This tragic yet uplifting story will change the way you think.

Great tale!
A classic Courtney story, spanning continents, generations and cultures. And yet another virtuoso performance by the narrator, Humphrey Bower.
A must listen.

Loved parts, hated parts
Over the course of the book the narrator, got irritating. The overall story is told by Jack, and he is Tasmanian. The person reading in his voice started to wear on me. I don't really think it is the performer's fault but the voice that the material is written in. I found the beginning of the book mildly interesting. The book is laid out so Jack's story is told, then Jimmy Oldcorn, and finally Nicole Lenoir-Jourdan. Intermixed with the first two people's story is the story of their time in a POW camp in the Korean war. The voice of the first part has the feel of somebody telling a story, and not their story. Which if fine but it is written from a first person perspective. That and the very upbeat Aussie intonations started to grate on me. I probably would have given up on the book but then Nicole's story started and it is quite engrossing. I learned some things about the Korean war and early last century China and Russia, so overall I guess it was worth it.
