Description
You can read the past in this city, if you know where to look.
Melbourne is a city of many layers. Jenny Lee observes them with a sharp eye, sampling the city’s marvellous and not-so-marvellous moments and reintroducing some of the unconventional characters who’ve shaped its history.
“Jenny Lee loves Melbourne … Her book comes as a small revelation, showing us the city growing up before our eyes.” -Robyn Annear
