Cosmo Cosmolino

By Helen Garner

Book Overview

Introduced byRamona Koval He straightened his spine, raised his head, and extended his gun arm towards me in a slow, vertical arc. I saw then what he was, and stood still in front of him, for he was here on business. He was a small, serious, stone-eyed angel of mercy. Janet is a skeptic, a journalist; Maxine revels in New Age fantasies; and Ray, a drifter, is a born-again Christian. The common ground is the house they share. But their fragile domestic balance is about to explode amid the smashing of ukeleles, the unexpected ascension of an angel, and a sudden shower of jonquils. www.textclassics.com.au

Excellent Read

This is a great book by one of Australia's leading authors. I don't know why Helen Garner is virtually unknown here in the U.S. Cosmo Cosmolino is a few years old, but it's still a wonderfully witty, original, clever, and compelling read. The characters are quirky and likeable. I recommend the book to anyone in search of a good read.
