 | True History of the Kelly Gang | Written as a first person account by Ned Kelly, a kind of reluctant Australian bushranger whose family is persecuted by the authorities. I imagine this is supposed to be based on truth. Categories: non-speculative, historical |

Pretty good, and it won the Booker prize for 2001, which is why I got Helen to bring out for me. Written without much punctuation, which made it a bit hard to get used to, and I wasn't sure whether they were speaking with an Australian or Irish accent.
