SCHOOL DAYS... DEAR OLD GOLDEN RULE DAYS
The heroine of THE GOLDMINER'S SISTER, Eliza Penrose, is a school teacher (and the working title for the book was THE SCHOOLMISTRESS) Not by choice but by necessity. There were few options for well educated women like Eliza who found themselves down on their luck... governess, companion... school teacher?One of the ghosts I needed to lay to rest was my own memories of school. I was born in Kenya a Read more of this blog post »

"The Goldminer’s Sister by Alison Stuart is a wonderful novel set in the fictional Victorian gold mining town of Maiden’s Creek. The story has it all, love and loss, tragedy, greed and suspense.
As I read I was taken back to the late 1800’s and could " Read more of this review » |

“I always carry the book of Holy Writ...and something to read...”
― The Last Camel Died at Noon
― The Last Camel Died at Noon
“Matthew and Elspeth knew the Duke of Johannesburg, of course. Matthew had first met him some years earlier when he had gone to a party at Single-Malt House, the Duke’s seat. Most of us have houses or flats, but dukes have seats, which conjures up an altogether more comfortable set of domestic arrangements. Professors have chairs, which are not necessarily as comfortable as seats, but better, perhaps, than the mere benches on which judges have to spend their working hours. Least fortunate, of course, are people who have posts or slots—arrangements suggestive of impermanence and discomfort. To say of somebody that “he occupies the post of” is to imply that he has a place, but that he should not become too ensconced as there are others only too ready to take his place, with all the enthusiasm of the would-be stylite, on that post.”
