pickJust happened upon this book in the library. An Aussie author I had not heard of. Beautiful story about Tasmania with real Aussie characters, mentions of classic literature , footy matches, and much more. Plus a satisfying ending. Off to the library to get another one of her books. Great story teller.
Just started this, another title set in southern Tasmania. Saw the author speak (virtually) at last week‘s Yarra Valley Writer‘s Festival.

so-soI broke two of my rules (no books where the title mentions wife, daughter or girl and no books whose covers feature women in frocks from the back). I broke them because I want to read more by local authors.
The setting, rural southern Tasmania, was the best part of this book. The characters are cliched and the twists well telegraphed and everything is explained. A lot.
It finally feels like autumn, so I‘m swatching for a new jumper and reading Canberra author, Karen Viggers‘ latest book #readlocal #localauthorshowcase
