Rush Oh! takes place in a small seaside village named Eden in New South Wales. I was a little wary of reading a book about whaling, which I find an abhorrent practice, but the historical element, and the strength which I was already aware of in Barrett’s writing, swayed me. I love historical fiction, and have read some wonderful tomes set in Australasia over the years.
The stories could not, arguably, be more different, but whilst reading both I could relax, knowing that I was in the capable hands of a great author. I so enjoyed Australian author Shirley Barrett’s The Bus on Thursday that I immediately borrowed her debut novel, Rush Oh!, on my next visit to the library.
