However, it's obvious why the hog and the frog and the cat and the rats and the moose and the goose and the bear and the hare are so reticent. On each rereading of this beloved children's book I am bothered by the isolation of the hippopotamus, and later, the armadillo. Are feature-length Disney films too scary for kids? Will taking away the toy gun that your child carved from a bar of soap inhibit her creative spirit? Is it okay to spank your children after they punch you in the stomach? And will the aforementioned spanking only teach them to try to run away more quickly the next time they assault you? (For those of you without kids, the answer to each question is yes.) Parents are faced with all sort sorts of difficult questions. So when Tom gets close to the Spaulding family, he looks like their lost daughter Lavinia and forgets all about being Tom.The only problem is that when Tom gets close to other people, he starts to change his appearance.But Lafe guesses that Tom is one of those telepathic Martians who disguised himself as Tom so they would love him.Anna is worried at first, but she soon accepts him as her son. But that proves difficult when Tom shows up, the same 14-year-old he was when he died of pneumonia.The LaFarges are on Mars to forget their dead son Tom.They're 60 and 55, which actually sounds a lot more like vigorous middle age than "time-to-retire-to-Mars" age.We know they're old because this story follows the interchapter entitled "The Old Ones." Lafe and Anna LaFarge are an old married couple.

Already bereaved, they carry a burden of guilt that will be familiar to many.įrancie’s ‘enforced selflessness’ as wife and mother has, Anna believes, cost her ‘a terrible price in terms of a professional life, a public life, a private life realising her full possibilities’. In the course of the novel, they swap positions. Anna and her brother Terzo, who are successful professionals living in Australia, initially want to let her go, but Tommy, who has been their mother’s main carer, does not. Tasmania is burning, and as its cornucopia of flora and fauna is wiped out, three children gather to decide whether to let their exhausted 86-year-old mother Francie die, or demand intervention by modern medicine.

His reworking of the life of the Australian hero ‘Weary’ Dunlop, a doctor who became a prisoner of war on the notorious Burma Death Railway, in The Narrow Road to the Deep North was a winner of a traditional kind of literary storyteller that has recently become extinct. Thanks to the Booker Prize, Richard Flanagan is probably the only Tasmanian novelist British readers are likely to have heard of. |
