‘Perth’ by David Whish-Wilson was a difficult choice. It could just as easily have been Tim Winton’s ‘Cloudstreet’, or Robert Drewe’s ‘Shark Net’. The latter two describe the childhood I had in Claremont and the river and neighbouring districts. But ‘Perth’ filled caverns in my knowledge of my home town.The ambience of Perth that David describes is very much how I have seen it. Particularly the light. A bright, encompassing, defining light. It is a joy to read something which so perfectly amplifies and improves your view of the world.
