Sydney by Delia Falconer

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent. Signed by author.

Sydney has always been the sexiest and brashest of our cities, but perhaps the most misunderstood. In this new edition of Sydney, Delia Falconer conjures up its sandstone, humidity, jacarandas, fireworks, glitz and magic. But she discards lazy stereotypes to reveal a complex city: beautiful, violent, half-wild, and at times deeply spiritual.

Melancholic, moving and funny, Sydney is intensely atmospheric and seductive. In a new afterword, Falconer ponders the city's twenty-first-century transformations - might it have become a softer, nicer place? Will it withstand the real impact of climate change?
