About this listen

 Wagners Creek, otherwise known as the arse-end of the earth, is the home of the mutton-bird, the carrion crow and the remarkable Fin Starling. Son of the local provider of 'special services', Fin is different from other children and soon it becomes clear that he is something of a miracle-worker as he transforms the dirt-poor shantytown into a place of pilgrimage. Elizabeth Stead's gently comic portrait of Wagners Creek is handled with benevolent grace. Yet beneath the comedy runs an unsettling undercurrent and the suspicion that Fin's birthplace exists in a parallel universe where different laws operate.©2003 Elizabeth Stead (P)2004 Bolinda Publishing Contemporary Fiction Genre Fiction

Just like Fishcastle. Loved the descriptions of life and the unfolding of a wonderful story ... much in the way of Tim Winton. Brilliantly narrated too.

Fantastic
