In these powerful stories the verandah people are Jonathan Bennett's own compatriots: Australians for whom the ever-present verandah is both stage and shelter, a retreat from hostile bushland or city street and a seductive barrier to participation in the wider world.

Each one of these stories involves a tragedy in some way. In one a young girl has her long hair caught in the filter of a swimming pool and drowns. In another a man gets lost in the bush and possibly dies of a snake bite. In another, set in the early days of the Australian settling, two young boys join a posse that ends up killing aboriginals. Actually, that story, called “The Lyrebird” was the one that grabbed me the most. In the author’s notes at the end he says that it is based upon an actual occurrence. So, perhaps, the rest of them just didn’t seem realistic and that’s why I didn’t like them. ( )
