SUMMERS GONE BY CHARLES HALL

I've just finished reading Summers Gone by Charles Hall and found myself back in the 1960s in Australia.  This devastatingly honest novel follows the story’s protagonist, Nick, as he revisits one particular steamy and complicated 'summer of love'...... years after its tragic end.  The story begins when Nick’s Uncle Clem gives him the banjo that leads to him forming a folk band with his best friend, Mitch, and two Melbourne sisters, Helen and Alison.  This story takes you from Perth to Melbourne and all points north and south.
