One summer morning in 1970, Peter van Rijn, proprietor of the television and wireless shop, pronounces his Melbourne suburb one hundred years old. The Time We Have Taken is a powerfully moving tale of the rhythms of suburban life — its public and private reckonings.

Review:
"A writer worth cherishing. His prose is unfailingly assured, lyrical, poised" * The Australian * "What makes Steven Carroll's novels extraordinary is the metaphysical depth that he gives to his story" * Telerama (France) * "Exquisite... There are times in this book where I paused to admire the subtle craft of what Carroll is doing. Every piece of this book is sanded and planed and perfectly joined ... graceful and tender prose" * The Age * "It is the tender awareness he has of human frailty which lifts the spirit and implores us to simply think better of others and ourselves ... Carroll writes like a bird freed from a cage" * West Australian * "Deceptively simple, this novel has a quiet force" * Sydney Morning Herald *
