nice things said about the book in the latest Reader's Feast newsletter, to wit:

"Jenny Sinclair has created a window into a very personal Melbourne - hers and ours. She metaphorically turns our city on its head and, with it, any preconceptions we might have about 'our Melbourne'. Her approach is refreshing. She is not telling us what Melbourne is or was; she is not regurgitating known history of our town. In an exuberant and passionate way, she is challenging us to look at our city; shake up the snow-dome that is our entrenched view of what Melbourne is; and still come away absolutely besotted by the place."
