'"Snake" is a book that will come to be regarded as a classic account of the realities of Australian rural life.' People Magazine Irene is clever, ambitious, easily seduced, and tempted by everything-everything beyond the confines of her life on a remote Australian farm and her marriage to a man she might once, briefly, have loved.

Carol Shields, New York Times Book Review
