pickRead an article in a weekend paper about her. Never heard of her before. Requested books from library and got two. This one was a bit of a tough read. Dysfunctional relationships. Excellent writing. First published in 1966. Long out of print until Text reprinted all her work in 2012 . Still being printed . An Australian author who should be remembered and read.
"She was only a person." Such a simple but fraught statement for a young girl to make in the 1940s. I can't help but feel her spirit is about to be crushed.
A perpetually irritated Obie (his feelings for Wallace have not improved) and my #doublespin pick. Bought this Australian novel at a library sale a few years back. Apparently it's a "brilliant novel by a scandalously overlooked writer." Or so the back cover says. Have you read it @CarolynM ?
Day 2 of library book sale volunteering. Last day so you could fill a bag for $6. Hard to resist.
I was a table tidier in the biography section. Here is what I learned: No one need ever buy new copy of Angela's Ashes; Eat, Pray, Love; or Bill Clinton's My Life. Hard and soft copies abound!
Also no one wants to read Ann Coulter. Why does she have so many books? 😒
