Summary
Set in the eccentric backwater of Karakarook (pop. 1,374), New South Wales, this is the story of Douglas Cheeseman, a shy and clumsy engineer with jug-ears who meets Harley Savage, a woman who is known for being rather large and abrupt.
Douglas is there to pull down a quaint old bridge, and Harley aims to foster heritage. They are clearly on a collision course - but when they meet they are unaware that something unexpected is going to happen....

My idea of perfection
The performance was excellent. Such a soothing and interesting narration. Great story and internalisation of the characters. It fits the title perfectly. Their ideas of perfection and a redemption of sorts. I also loved how the characters were all so imperfect. And not a cliche in sight. I loved this book and will look out for more Kate Grenville.

I thought at the beginning that the fine detailed descriptions of the landscapes, people, conversations would become tiring, but it gave such depth and fascination. Thoroughly enjoyable!
