Why read it?

1 author picked Still as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It’s not fast-moving, but the setting is an almost palpable character in its own right. I found it dark, rife with corruption, violence, oppressive heat, and both the best and the worst of what Australia has to offer.
