Book Synopsis
Piquant, frank, open, wistful, tender, funny this personal memoir by Diane Brown is deftly 'marbled' throughout with social history. From carefully chosen anecdotes it slowly unfolds a vivid and compelling sense of character and the psychological dynamics within the family. Many readers will recognise the New Zealand so vividly portrayed here, as Brown marshals deeply personal events and childhood memories in a delightfully astute, understated poetic form.
