Rhubarb | Craig Silvey

#Aprilbookshowers #LocalAuthor Craig Silvey lives in Fremantle, Western Australia, which is about 15 minutes drive from me. He wrote his first novel Rhubarb when he was 19! I loved it and felt it was so evocative of place.

His second novel Jasper Jones was hugely successful and is on the upper school syllabus. I have seen a play version of it and on the weekend finally saw the film adaptation, made and set here in Western Australia.

ClairesReads What was the film like? I teach the novel 🙂 8y

LeeRHarry Great choices! Rhubarb is on my TBR, I loved Jasper Jones 😊 8y

MrsMalaprop Oh really @ClairesReads? In Australia? The film was ok, but not brilliant. It was true to the novel, and I loved the setting & cinematography. However I thought some of the acting was a little wooden. Maybe a ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 star for me. 8y

MrsMalaprop @LeeRHarry I know Rhubarb was not for everyone, but I absolutely loved it 😁. 8y

ClairesReads @MrsMalaprop in New Zealand- but I'm very invested in Australian fiction! I am avoiding the film at the moment because I don't want it to spoil the book for me! 8y

KVanRead @MrsMalaprop Looks awesome! Thanks. 7y

@LauraBeth it isn't that pretty but it is my great grandmother's rhubarb cake. It's a spring tradition for my dad.

Megabooks Beautiful! 8y

LauraBeth Oh that looks delicious! 😋😋And it IS pretty! Would you mind sharing the recipe? 8y

josie281 Cream 1 1/2c sugar, 1/2c crisco (or butter), 2 eggs, 1t vanilla, 1c buttermilk. In other bowl sift 2c flour, 1t soda, 1t salt. Add dry to wet and mix. Fold in 3c rhubarb chopped & 1/2c pecans. Spread in 9x13 and bake at 350 F for about 45 min. Frost with cream cheese frosting (I use basic recipe of 8 oz cream cheese, 1/2 c butter, 3-4c pwd sugar, & vanilla) @LauraBeth 😄 8y

Rhubarb, a #onewordtitle for day 3 of #bookriot #riotgrams. This is on my TBR, as I loved Jasper Jones.

MrsMalaprop Loved this book. So evocative of place. 8y

8little_paws This has to be one of the oddest covers I've seen 8y

LeeRHarry Snap! Jasper Jones was great....can't decide whether to go and see the movie or not though... 8y

Lauredhel @8little_paws I haven't read it yet, so I can't say whether it suits the book! 8y

Lauredhel @LeeRHarry it's always a risk isn't it? 8y

LeeRHarry @Lauredhel I saw the play last year and that was really good so I might give the movie a miss and not push my luck 😆 8y
