Leplastrier is a frizzy-haired heiress who
impulsively buys a glass factory with the 
inheritance forced on her by a well-intentioned
adviser. In the early parts of this lushly written
 book, author Peter Carey renders the seminal
turning points in his protagonists' childhoods as 
exquisite 19th-century set pieces. Young Oscar,
denied the heavenly fruit of a Christmas pudding 
by his cruelly stern father, forever renounces his
father's religion in favour of the Anglican 
Church. "Dear God," Oscar prays, "if it be Thy
will that Thy people eat  pudding, smite him!"
Lucinda's childhood trauma involves a beautiful
doll bought by her  struggling mother with savings
from the jam jar; in a misguided attempt to tame
the doll's unruly  curls, young Lucinda mutilates
her treasure beyond repair. Neither of these
coming-of-age stories  quite explains how the
grown-up Oscar and Lucinda each develop a guilty
passion for gambling.  Oscar plays the horses
while at school, and Lucinda, now an orphaned
heiress, finds comfort in a  game of cards with an
odd collection of acquaintances. When the two
finally meet, on board a  ship bound for New South
Wales, they are bound by their affinity for risk,
their loneliness and  their awkwardly blossoming
(but unexpressed) mutual affection. Their final
high-stakes folly-- transporting a crystal palace
of a church across (literally) godforsaken
terrain--strains plausibility,  and events turn
ghastly as Oscar plays out his bid for Lucinda's
heart. Yet even the unconvincing  plot turns are
made up for by Carey's rich prose and the tale's
unpredictable outcome. Although  love proves to be
the ultimate gamble for Oscar and Lucinda, the
story never strays too far from  the terrible
possibility that even the most thunderstruck
lovers can remain isolated in parallel  lives.

The Glass Curse.
Review of Oscar and Lucinda - Peter Carey by  nickyturnill

Advantages: Fascinating characters, interesting, clever ending.
Disadvantages: Carey writes using a fairly formal and complex style.

...Australian author Peter Carey wrote Oscar and Lucinda in 1988 and it went on to win the Booker Prize for that year. The book is described on the back as a love story but after reading it I can confirm that it is much more than boy meets girl. Set in the late 1800's this is a book which explores a period of time when emigration between the UK and Australia first became popular. The book deals with the cultural issues which surround the aborigines and more strongly with the issue of religion. The book starts long before Oscar and Lucinda actually meet, when they are both children living on different continents. We start with Oscar who is spending his childhood in Devon, isolated and alone, with his overprotective, religious and fanatical father. Oscar's two older siblings and mother died when he very young. Oscar father... Read review

The Slow but Tense Build-Up of Passion
Review of Oscar and Lucinda - Peter Carey by  yingli.lim

Advantages: great literary read
Disadvantages: too slow moving a plot

...This novel received positive reviews. "Oscar and Lucinda" has won the booker prize 1988. In case you need some background on the author, Peter Carey was born in 1943 in Australia and now resides in New York. If you are browsing through any of the bookshops and happen to come across this book, you will find it in a bold orangy colour with light on it - it is the photograph of a glass ball. It is an iten that is representative of the emotions and the nature of particular main characters. Carey gives his characters much depth and thus, allows them also to forge certain relations with the reader through being able to relate tocertain experiences and being able to emphathise with the heroine and hero's situations in life. However compelling their love story may be (yes it is a love story although it does have many references... Read review

"Salami smells like dirty socks" says Oscar
Review of OSCAR - Torbjorn Lundmark by  catsholiday

Advantages: Entertaining story with great illustrations
Disadvantages: might give kids ideas!

...Oscar by Torbjorn Lundmark and Dana K. Lundmark ISN 0868962813 Published by Ashton Scholastic Yet another of my children?s books brought back with us from Australia in 1989 so it is quite an old book. It was actually a birthday present from a pre-school friend of my 27 year old daughter! It has been read to many classes of children in school over the years and my husband read it to our grandchildren when they stayed the night a few weeks ago. All enjoyed the story and appreciated the humour which is expressed in both the story and the illustrations. The story is about a nice, well behaved little boy called Oscar who hates salami (I question why anyone would force their child to eat salami) and his ingenious ways of avoiding eating the stuff. The illustrations showing Oscar?s hatred of salami are wonderful and I love the way hid huge... Read review
