Part Two of the award-winning verse novel 'The Lovemakers', which has been described by Garrie Hutchinson as a "Tour de force of style and observation, with an Australian language that is as artfully constructed as CJ Dennis, as deadly and ironic as Barry Humphries, as locquaciously imagined as Jack Gibberd and more mordantly observant than David Williamson . . ."
Centered on the Australian suburbs in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, 'The Lovemakers Book Two' continues to explore the inner and outer tensions of families and society, and the rituals of home extensions, weddings and public-service career paths.
Meanwhile, in the city, the demi-monde transforms itself into the drug culture. This stunning verse novel builds powerfully to its emotional heart: the triangle of Barb, her husband Roger and her lover Neil.
