pickThis book will stay with me for a while. Knowing the authors background and that she died the year this was published made this a thoughtful read for me. A story about relationships, living and dying and more. I loved it. I‘ve read a couple of her books now and loved them all. A talent lost too soon.
Tonight‘s curried chickpea crunch is almost the same colour as the photo in the book! It‘s a miracle!
It was as delicious as the book‘s title promises, too. I ate it wrapped in lettuce, and lemme tell you, I‘ll be doing it again.
Another DELICIOUS TONIGHT recipe that‘s nothing like the same colour as the example photo, even with a filter. Still, this crispy lemon garlic butter chicken was delicious. Anyone who can‘t stand the taste or smell of either lemon or garlic wants to avoid it at all costs, but all the other non-vegetarians can dive in and come out happy.
pickWhat a story🥹. What writing 😍.
Imagine if you grew up knowing you were adopted and were told a fiction about the circumstances of your birth.
In your late 40s you get hold of your original birth certificate, and read your biological mother‘s name…famous Australian writer Charmian Clift.
This book was re-released after the author‘s daughter Gina Chick wrote her memoir, We Are The Stars, a book I read and loved in 2024.
Wonderful 🥰🙏👏

1) I always wanted a name people know how to spell. Like Jane. Easy Peasy.
2) My first pet a dog named Frisco I was 5 and named him after my favorite General Hospital soap opera character 🤣
3) I always loved the name Phryne Fisher from Miss Fishers Murder mystery
2 Aussie authors. Tagged book going free as a throw out from local library. The other published last year $1 in an op shop. Could not believe it @MrsMalaprop . On to my TBR shelf they go. Also got to see some of the Sydney Writer‘s Festival on the big screen at our State Library. Helen Garner, Ian Rankin and Anna Funder.
Geraldton - childhood home of Randolph Stow. I was surprised there was so little acknowledgement of his work. But we did find the modern day version of the merry-go-round in the sea.

pickA beautifully crafted book. Writer Peter Carey‘s playbook in many ways and it was through an interview with him mentioning the book that I discovered this truly incredible family story.
