Sidney Bridge upside down

The outer archives are busy

by David Ballantyne

About this book

"There was an old man who lived on the edge of the world and he had a horse called Sydney Bridge Upside Down." A captivating opening line of a gothic novel superficially about a boy in rural New Zealand in the 1930s. However the tone and voice of the narrative changes from the original boyish perspective of the narrator, to something darker - even unhinged. The plot is simple on the surface but its undercurrents disturb.
