'This beautiful book provokes nostalgia and deeper thinking about the events, places and people who have defined Melbourne.' --Herald Sun 'It would be nice to imagine that the gift of this book to Melbourne is its greater capacity to understand itself and its webs of connection.' --David Sornig, Melbourne Review 'Cunningham is communicating this city's soul as though it's a person, full of contradictions but with an essential character.' --Waleed Aly, Australian Book Review 'Cunningham has successfully captured the dynamics of a city in constant flux, while focusing on the essence of its inner life, which gives it an ambience quite unlike that found in any other Australian city.' --Robert Hefner, The Canberra Times 'An admirable response to the impossible task of writing about a city its history, its present, its characters, its stories, its politics and its personal meaning in a single, accessible volume when any one of these themes should take several. Cunningham is communicating this city's soul as though it's a person, full of contradictions but with an essential character.' --Waleed Aly, The Sunday Age
