I preface my response to the novel with some observations about the book-as-object. On 10 March 2012 at the Leading Edge Conference in Melbourne it received the double distinction of being awarded both the 2012 Indie best Debut Novel and best overall Book of the Year, and it has also been shortlisted for the 2012 ALS Gold Medal to be announced in July by the Association for the Study of Australian Literature. Since its 2011 release Anna Funder’s debut novel has attracted a swathe of reviews that have proclaimed it a ‘bravura piece of story telling’, ‘a love story’, ‘an intimate exploration of human connection‘, a gripping spy novel’, ‘historical fiction at its finest’, ‘far more than mere history’, and so on.
