My first Bryce Courtney
What a brilliant read! I’m so annoyed now because I don’t generally read “Big Authors”. I like the little guy, the book with no big name on it by an obscure unknown - but this was brilliantly written and now I’m going to have to be forced to read more of his books. I really do hope he writes them. That he doesn’t have a team of minions like terrible authors like Nora Robert’s who just produce book after book of AI/team generated rubbish. It was really a very good book - sigh!!

A compelling read
Insightful magical and fraught with very real life characters and their frailties
A wonderful yet heart wrenching journey

A heart warming story using the story of Mathew Flinder's Cat to thread together the story of Billy.

Perhaps life changing
It has given me explanation of my own life, and made me want to become more than I am currently. I cried a lot during the book. It made me feel a familiarity with an author that I haven't experienced before. Thank You Bryce. Welsh accent was terrible. Sorry.

Typically Courtenay
Not Courtenay’s best work, though he was the master at character development and getting the reader/listener fully invested and even emotionally involved with key characters.
Working in the city I found myself looking at the homeless differently.

a great read..an insight into world known by few
the book was so interesting and the subject took us into world that is not know about by most Australians.....so many of us are so lucky not to be touched by the sadness and distress in this Book, but so many are as well.

spectacular story telling
the narrator did an amazing job of involving his multiple character voices to embellish the quite believable narrative. it got a little windy towards the end with Trim's story, and a little too scant with our main character's stories, as many well written text do, leaving me wanting a bit more.
thank you for another great story, Bryce
