What readers think of The Dry, plus links to write your own review.

Well written, capturing the atmosphere of a township in crisis in a rock-hard landscape and searing summer heat. Secretiveness is palpable. Human problems - and memories - run deeper than the drought. Characterisation is interesting and varied. Secrets and mystery are 'drip-fed' throughout. Hard to believe that the actual story is told over a couple of weeks following a funeral but reaches back over twenty years. It intrigued me that there was very little to picture about the (fictitious) town, yet evoked images arise of any number of Australian outback locations that could fit!. Stage is set for a sequel!
