Blaxland's voice is loud in this book - rightly so, as it's all about her house and a year living in it. She's forthright and opinionated, giving lots of fodder for opposing views, spectrums of agreement and healthy debate. The book is wide in scope - giving us a taster of the microcosm of wildlife, sky, characters and the rhythm of country life as she waits of the cliff to recede and her home to be taken by the sea.
