I had no prior knowledge of the construction of the opera house and the politics surrounding it, so I found this informative.
I am amused that Utzon's design was related to an orange. I would never have guessed that. So why when an author has researched her topic and is basing it on a fact, would she then infer that his concept was a shell and use that as the book's title?
I found that a more dominant theme is the conscription of young soldiers for the Vietnam war, the rise of feminism,as well as both Pearl and Axel's background stories. Overall a very good enjoyable read portraying the social and political climate of Sydney in the 1960's.… (altro)
