![]() There’s a quite a bit of unpleasantness not to mention brutality to prison life. The historical setting was utilized well rather than simply being some nice window-dressing. As a big fan of HBO’s Oz as well as anything set in prison, I really liked the way everything was depicted. It was really, really well-done as well as incredibly hard to put down. Review: This novella was not at all what I was expecting, and I mean that in the best possible sense. And protection is just what Gabriel MacKenna offers. Facing eighteen years behind Wentworth’s towering gates, Joey cannot hope to survive without protection. Trained at Oxford as a physician, the young doctor is innocent of prison culture and too handsome for his own good. ![]() Every convict claims imprisonment through a miscarriage of justice, but Joey is truly blameless. To survive endless days without the touch of another human being…įive years after Gabriel’s incarceration, Joey Cooper arrives at Wentworth. ![]() And life is a very long time to endure Wentworth with no comforts but prison food, card games and cigarettes. ![]() But Gabriel, saved from the noose by a social crusader, is serving two life sentences. Tough, smart, and ruthless in a fight, he quickly makes a name for himself inside. When Gabriel MacKenna enters Wentworth Prison in 1931, he promises himself two things: never to be buggered and never to turn prison queer. Why did I read it: Another great premise that I couldn’t resist. How did I get it: I was sent a review copy by the author. ![]()
