Time of the Dolphins a Madame Bovary of Suburbia
Lola Trish offers a vivid Sydney suburb portrait through Anna Robins a 43 year old housewife driven by restlessness. She paints the sea and dolphins as symbols of freedom but alcohol and affairs complicate her life leading to poverty and estrangement. The critic praises its honesty and social focus while noting uneven character depth.

A Meaningful Life and Other Crime Tales Review
A criticism of L. J. Davis A Meaningful Life as a tale of a young man trapped in mediocrity with a failing life and marriage. Delving’s The Disappearance of Odile and Quilty’s Tenth Session are described as engaging but uneven Gothic thrillers with sharp dialogue and suspect plotting. Simenon’s Odile is praised for atmosphere but faulted for a lacking authorial touch. Machiavelli in a Fontana edition is noted as fresh and insightful with Plamenatz’s introduction.
