The History Of His Summer Is Written In The Grass.

In 1960 the West Indies arrive in Australia and Michael, who is sixteen, is enthralled. If, like his heroes, he has the gift of speed, he will move beyond his suburb into the great world ...

As his summer unfolds, Michael realises that there are other ways to live. When the calypso chorus accompanying Frank Worrell and his team fades, Michael has learnt many things ... about his parents, a girl called Kathleen Marsden, and about himself.

'The Gift of Speed' is a masterful blend of story-telling, memorable characters and a uniquely Australian sensibility by a novelist at the height of his powers
