'I always been a coin boy . . .' � Hokitika, 1865, at the height of the Gold Rush. In a town with a hundred pubs, young Halfie - aka Harvey, Thumbsucker, Bedwetter, Cocoa and Pipsqueak - gets by as best he can. � Most of the time he hangs around the Bathsheba pub, washing dishes, running errands and making the odd coin - and observing from close quarters the parade of miners, dancing girls, petty crims and plain drunks that passes through the doors. � When you're a coin boy you see a lot of life, and from low down. But how much do you really understand? What's going on in young Halfie's world? � In this beguiling new novel by the author of The Curative, a rattling good yarn reveals that life is rarely what it seems. � 'Among our contemporary writers of adult fiction, only Elizabeth Knox can match Charlotte Randall for the sheer scope of her imagination.'-New Zealand Listener
