My Review of “And What Do You Do” by Norman Baker
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Having grown up in Australia I find the notion of bowing/curtseying to another human being unnatural. I would struggle to bow to even the most exceptional human being, even my hero Stephen Sondheim would have received a fawning slaver of compliments but no curtsey. And the British Royal Family are far from exceptional. They are, to all intents and purposes, a very ordina

Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries (Emily Wilde, #1):
"This book sounded awesome: a curmudgeonly scholar whose best friend is her dog heads north to do some field research on the local faeries. And I adored the first 2/3 featuring Cambridge professor Emily Wilde as she wanders around Ljosland, charming t"

"My Australian friends had recommended this, after taking me to visit the last house in which the author lived. Very enjoyable reading another country's coming-of-age classic, full of wonderful descriptions of 1920-45. Looking at other reviews here, i"

I've just started reading it and so far, I'm inclined to agree with you that Australia hasn't yet produced Johnston's equal.

“Everything real was first imagined.’ He flicked his hand at the stars framed in her window. ‘Those stars existed in my imagination long before they were fashioned into stone and fire, long before my Father breathed light into them. Many of them no longer exist but their light lives on. Are they real? Are they illusion? Speculating about what is real and what is imagined will drive you mad.’ Gabriel from Catch the Moon, Mary”

“Imagine a life without music, bound by routines you’re too frightened to break. Every night wishing for a little luck only to discover what an angel once told you …elves bite. Your days blank, your nights tormented with dreams about stages and Steinways. Your music a sad haunting refrain singing of the glorious life you might have known. And when death comes for you at last, you’ll embrace him like a lover.’ Gabriel from Catch the Moon, Mary”

“Standing in the mouth of the cave, he watched sea and sky cleave in graded blue harmony, enjoying a brief connection before the sky bruised and cast a wine-dark stain on the sea. Seconds later the sun launched a spectacular volley of vermilion spears over the horizon just before it sank. The rising tide shattered breakers against the boot of the cliff and the seventh wave, always the largest in a set, exploded against the rocks, sending a jet of spume over him. He leapt back, shaking the water from his robes and hair, and moved deeper into the cave. The bats were stirring, squealing and stretching leathery wings, waking up for the night’s foraging and soon a dark silent stream would head west to raid suburban bowers. The sky rapidly deepened from purple to indigo and a bright display of stars, planets, asteroids, comets – the flotsam and jetsam of past galaxies – popped to light.”
