My favourite of Kate‘s books yet. Only my second actually. She is an Australian author. This was my school holiday read I forgot to post. I was at my sister‘s place 50 km from the nearest town, enjoying this beautiful book and some quiet time then the niece got in with me and everyone out in the garden came to the window to chat #noonecaresinthecountry Last time I visited I was sick with Influenza A so it was much nicer this time. Not freezing.

This is an earlier book by this Aussie author. I've now read several of his books. As with his others he takes events/ situations and using fiction spins a story that makes you think.
"5 days,3 unexploded bombs,and every truth of your life turned into a lie. What would you do?"

Jeg I see from a previous post this has been on my TBR shelf for at least 5 years! 2mo
Suet624 Congrats on getting it off your shelf! 2mo

#WickedWhispers #Bats I read this first in the Harry Hole series and enjoyed it . I haven‘t gone on with the series probably because I‘m in the middle of several series right now.

Another perfect day for reading outside . Lucky yet again to find this in an op shop for $2. Published in 2011 , it took me to a country town in West Aust and to Sydney and around the Quay with the Opera House and the Bridge. It follows 4very different characters who visit the Quay , their thoughts , their stories . The writing is superb. 🤞I find more of her earlier works.

Suet624 I love the cover. 2mo

I thought I was going to return this to the library unfinished - I found the beginning of Elizabeth's marriage terribly depressing. I'm so glad I gave it one more shot! It turned out to be absolutely beautiful and comforting and challenging and I loved it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2

Jeg I loved it too. 4mo
