Review # 1 was written on 2007-02-20 00:00:00 Brian Nunes Antigone Clark is at a crossroads: one path is Broadway stardom and Baldwin Dahl. The other is strewn with lies, remorse and empty gin bottles. Her family and Baldwin root for the first path. Her dead mother's legacy of betrayal urges her toward the second. Will Antigone decide to step into the light or that mourning becomes her? I won't give away the ending, but would urge you to find out for yourself! It's worth the trip!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-02-08 00:00:00 Ralph Francis A smoky, boozy, sultry black-and-white movie of a book, a tale about two tempestuous British expatriate artists (Jack and Vera) living on inherited money, slowly revealing their dark secrets'as told by Jack's forever-loyal and enabling sister Gin. A story, to use McGrath's words, "that predictably occurs among white people living in hot places with time on their hands and a fondness for liquor." I'd call Port Mungo a trashy novel but it's far too well written. It's a soap opera about perceptions and deceptions. It's a novel for a few rainy afternoons when you're in the mood for the tribulations of people with no real-life existence troubles who still manage muck up everything.
