The Idea of Perfection - Picador Classic

With an introduction by Evie Wyld The Idea of Perfection by Kate Grenville is a funny and touching romance between two people who''ve given up on love. Set in the eccentric little backwater of Karakarook, New South Wales, pop. 1374, it tells the story of Douglas Cheeseman, a gawky engineer with jug-handle ears, and Harley Savage, a woman altogether too big and too abrupt for comfort. Harley is in Karakarook to foster ''Heritage'', and Douglas is there to pull down the quaint old Bent Bridge. From day one, they''re on a collision course. But out of this unpromising conjunction of opposites, something unexpected happens: sometimes even better than perfection.
