RIP Bryce Courtenay

One of the world's great novelists has died, aged 79. have read everyone of 's (except the last). Like many I discovered him through The Power of One – a truly great novel.

His Australian trilogy were equally good, especially enjoying the aspects to them. Mary Abacus is a fascinating character, and the (and book) of Jessica is heart breaking.

Very sad we will get no more novels from him, but I predict his books will be read for decades to come.
