The View from Connor's Hill: A Memoir by Barry Heard
In The View from Connor’s Hill, Heard has the distinctive voice of an Australian storyteller, a yarn spinner who can make you laugh on one page and cry on the next.
Carol Middleton, Australian Book Review
With a doggedly simple yet appealing voice, Heard draws the details of bush life with affection and honesty.
Dianne Dempsey, The Age
It is a simple story told with artless humility and great humanity.
Sydney Morning Herald
He has the knack of putting together a compelling narrative, to which he brings sensitivity, feeling for people and the environment, along with an eye for landscape.
John Farquaharson, Canberra Times
This book is a delightful read that anyone brought up in the country will feel an affinity with as he progresses though youthful adventures ... buy it, read it and you will feel part of this lad's life as he grows to be a man — a man called on to fight for his country.
Michael Ray, Book Nook
One of the things that moved me in this book was Barry's description of the trees, and the bush which helped to heal him.
