The Idea of Perfection is an RRL Book Club book and makes a perfect book club choice as it would provoke animated discussion. It is set in a small country town in New South Wales and is populated with familiar characters. The town is divided over the fate of an old bridge; some wanting to save it and some wanting to replace it. Into this seemingly sleepy town come two strangers, ill at ease with with the town and themselves. Kate Grenville does a brilliant job getting inside the heads of the characters, giving us an insight into human failings and how two people can fall in love despite their flaws.
