The story is not complicated, that is, Luke's young wife, the school's accountant, found that an education fund allocation had disappeared, and the money was transferred by the principal to another account, the owner of which was the principal's loan shark. The accountant confronted the principal, but the principal refused to admit it, so the accountant told her husband that the husband thought that his childhood friend had become a famous detective in Melbourne, and wanted to ask his friend to come back to his hometown for help. Luke's parents wrote a postcard asking the friend, the protagonist police officer Falk, to return to his hometown for the funeral.
The slow rhythm seems to be a lyric poem. It tells how youthful and energetic the Australian boys and girls who grew up barbarously are. Originally, life seemed like an endless summer vacation. The death of a friend brought the beautiful life to an abrupt end. There is only endless sadness for half my life - like a small town that is short of water, drying up day by day.
Just like Luke's death, only by figuring out the reason can the family raise their heads in the town. The male protagonist has long thought that Ellie committed suicide because he couldn't choose his relationship with Luke, which made him feel My life is always fixed in my teenage years. He feels that he is never good enough - this is the mentality he has chosen for his future self. In the end, I figured out that the emotional entanglements of others, whether it was 20 years ago or in the past 20 years, were much more complicated than the life he thought he was depressed. He was just an ordinary passerby.
