Readings Review

Readings is one of Australia's leading independent bookshops, with eight shops in Melbourne. Mark Rubbo AOM, who bought the business in 1976, and who has also served as president of the Australian Bookseller's Association and was founding chair of the Melbourne Writer's Festival, has reviewed Running with Pirates for the bookshop's magazine.

He writes, 

...Gíslason’s reflections turn to his own experience of fatherhood and to his relationship with his sons, creating a desire to share Corfu with them. This is a joyous, tender reflection on the freedom of youth, on fatherhood, and the beauty of Corfu.

The full review is available here.
