Steve Braunias’ 2024 Book of the Year. I’m not sure. Aspects of it are a bit too close for comfort. Recognisably Aotearoa.
A tad melodramatic.
#3 in the series. Taking a break before the next one hits my Libby on Xmas day.
#2 in the series. As above.
Another series. Quintessential summer read, doesn’t take too much effort or brain work to follow this one by the pool. Pick up and put down variety. Pick up something more meaty if you want some cerebral stimulation in between.
From the Forth Wing author a contemporary romance novel that switches between the generations. A slight twist in the tale at the end, but not one you didn’t see coming.
Don’t go looking for happy endings in this book. Isolation, domestic violence, separation, illness & death; but also strength, resilience, enduring connection with the land and re-connection.
