Episode description

In my opinion, there is no greater discovery in 2015 than this book.  Despite its heavy themes, The Eye Of The Sheep is an eminently readable and joyous tale. Told through the eyes of young Jimmy Flick, it's a story about family dysfunction, social disadvantage and a mother's love.  It’s the most beautiful and skillful depiction of Australian domestic life since Tim Winton’s Cloudstreet. You can almost smell the cut grass and the sea. It won the Miles Franklin and you won’t have to guess why.   Show notes This show is hosted by Monique Bowley with Jo and Gabe Lauder.   Contact us via [email protected] or via twitter: @mamamiapodcasts and via the podcast facebook page   This show is part of the Mamamia Women's Network.
