1. I've recently joined an Australian book subscription service called Well Read which sends a new release literary novel each month. The tagged book is this month's selection.
2. Yes, I bought a thank you gift for a lovely Litten, but I'm not saying who because I haven't sent it yet.

LeahBergen That subscription service sounds great. Alas, I haven‘t found any good ones here in Canada. 😐 3y
CarolynM @LeahBergen I'm really pleased with it so far. The books are much better (and better value) than the last one I tried. Hope you find a god one. 3y

This charming novel draws on Pippos‘s childhood, but I‘m impressed with the way he has balanced the ring of authenticity without pouring too much of his own life into the mix, as debut novelists are wont to do. It was refreshing to read an Australian story that reflected the epics of European literature, with the ripple effects of love, luck, and rash decisions explored in full.

This book has it all; love, hate, sin, redemption, tragedy, and even some joy. Emily leaves London to interview Lucky, a former restaurant franchiser, for a New Yorker article. Lucky's tale unfolds in flashbacks and forwards, finally unraveling the story of his life. The characters are well-developed and intertwined in a clever way. This is a great addition to Australian literary fiction.
