The Time We Have Taken by Carroll, Steven
ISBN: 9780732278373 PUBLISHER: Fourth Estate FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 368 PUBLICATION DATE: 1.11.2008 DIMENSIONS: 19.8 x 12.9 x 2.6 centimetres
DESCRIPTION: One summer morning in 1970, Peter van Rijn, proprietor of the television and wireless shop, pronounces his Melbourne suburb one hundred years old. That same morning, Rita is awakened by a dream of her husband's snores, yet it is years since Vic moved north. Their son, Michael, has left for the city, and is entering the awkward terrain of first love. As the suburb prepares to celebrate progress, Michael's friend Mulligan is commissioned to paint a mural of the area's history. But what vision of the past will his painting reveal? Meanwhile, Rita's sometime friend Mrs Webster confronts the mystery of her husband's death. And Michael discovers that innocence can only be sustained for so long. The Time We Have Taken is both a meditation on the rhythms of suburban life and a luminous exploration of public and private reckoning during a time of radical change.
