Duh. I can't believe I bought two of this book! I just started reading the other copy and can't give much of an opinion yet. So here's the synopsis!
---------------------
Aged six, Robert Drewe moved with his family from Melbourne to Perth, the world's most isolated city - and proud of it. This sun-baked coast was innocently proud, too, of its tranquility and friendliness.
Then a man he knew murdered a boy he also knew. The murderer randomly killed eight strangers - variously shooting, strangling, stabbing, bludgeoning and hacking his victims and running them down with cars - and innocent Perth was changed forever.
'To try to make sense of this time and place, and of my own childhood and adolescence, I had, finally, to write about it.' The result is The Shark Net, a vibrant and haunting memoir that reaches beyond the dark recesses of murder and chaos to encompass their ordinary suburban backdrop. The Shark Net shows one of Australia's most acclaimed writers charting new and exciting territory.
