Tim Winton
I have just been looking at a web page devoted to Tim Winton's latest novel Breath. (The story "On Her Knees" is from his collection, The Turning.) In looking at this site, I made the important discovery that Winton is Austrailan and that his stories, including "On Her Knees" are set in Australia. (In class discussion, I have encouraged speculation that the story might be set in New Zealand...It's not.)

ReplyDeleteI have found it difficult to get a lot of background on the actual story "On Her Knees" as it is a;lways tied up with the Turning. Who can help me to get to know the details of this particular story itself?
ReplyDeleteI wish to understand the reaction of the mistress once she gets home.
