The four fires in this story are passion, religion, warfare and fire itself. While there are many more fires that drive the human spirit, love being perhaps the brightest flame of all, it is these four that have moulded us most as Australian people. The four fires give us our sense of place and, for better or for worse, shape our national character.©2001 Christine Courtenay, a recording of the book published by PenguinBooks Australia Ltd.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"A superb storyteller." (The Times)
"Humphrey Bower, speaking as Mole, delivers every possible nuance and emotion of his character's story, and shows a startling aptitude for other dialects as well. Close family friends and enemies include surviving Polish Jews, an East Indian healer, an Irish Catholic priest, Japanese prison camp soldiers, and many others. All of them, young and old, male and female, spring to vivid life in Bower's versatile voice. Narrative passages and dialogue elicit tears and laughter by turns, without a minute of boredom in the 30-hour production." (AudioFile Magazine)

The first 20 hours focused on the lives of the Malone family and if the story had ended there, I would have considered this the best audio book I'd listened to, to date. The story is well researched, quirky and the narration is brilliant. Unfortunately most of the last nine hours of the book focuses on Tommy's harrowing experience as a prisoner of war and no detail is spared. I found myself wishing it would end, but instead it transitioned to Mole's experience in Vietnam. This book contains too much war violence and torture for me.

Tommy's story was too long and gruesome for me
