Welcome to Litsy!

a disappearing
body, Lin Chung‘s a hottie —
racism abounds.

Phryne goes on a getaway to stay with rich people à la Agatha Christie with her Chinese paramour Lin Chung. They have to deal with racism against Lin and a disappearing dead body along the way. Love this series. 5⭐️

Used book sale haul post 1
A couple of these I've read-- Tara Road and Thorn Birds, but I wanted better editions. (I hate MMPB!)
I was excited to find the Caleb Carr book, since I just read The Alienist and really liked it.

I was in the mood for some Garner, having been lucky enough to see her speak followed by Tim Winton speaking about her at a conference to honour her and her work a couple of months ago.
This 1992 novel is one of only a few of her books left for me to read. It‘s really three separate but interlinked stories.
As always her writing is exquisite. Although she is an Australian national treasure, she is only now being read more globally. #ozfiction

beautiful boy bites
the dust in Phryne‘s arms — hell to
pay for anarchists. 5⭐️

Will definitely hold your interest, but I hated the ending. Falk heads to his hometown for the funeral of his high school best and his family. Luke is believed to be a murder suicide, but Falk finds discrepancies. Cooperation from townsfolk is scarce. They all believe Falk murdered his girlfriend when they were in school and the real murderer was never found.

This was not for me. Alternating between poetry and prose, this historical fiction had no plot. The characters were flat. There was a plethora of information on birds. More than necessary.

It‘s not you it‘s me , definitely a marmite read , as others have said starts well and could have been two engrossing stories , always love a ghost 👻 story or even better narrated by a ghost , but tbh it just bored me , the dual time lines , which I usually love didn‘t work for me I had no interest in her previous life in Australia, I also have bass rock on my TBR which Iv been told is far superior
