'...Now in Andamooka he describes the growth and life of an opal mining town, with a rich and absorbing array of characters.  There is Clarrie Sorrell, the cripple with a faith few share; Plugger Quigley and his wife Sybil, who back Clarries hunch; Fats Mueller, a brilliantly portrayed digger; Lex and Ivor Durgan, twins and murderers; and many others.  Rough and untamed as the outback itself, the characters in this story live long in the reader's imagination.'
