It's spring here in Australia so Summer is just about to start. It's already hot so I'm a bit nervous about what might happen.
I've just finished reading Girl, Woman, Other, by Bernadine Evaristo the 2019 Booker Prize winning novel. It's fantastic and I really recommend it to people who like reading woman centred novels. Bernadine teaches creative writing and is poet (like me). The language in the book is beautiful and the portraits of the various women in the book wonderful.
Another book I've read recently is Afropean by Johnny Pitts. It's a travel story with a difference and shares ideas of identity and the UK with Girl, Women Other. It's not the reason why I read it but I'm glad I read the two novels back to back. I now have a real insight into modern UK culture.
I've also enjoyed reading Australia's very own Tara June Winch's Miles Franklin Award winning book Yield. It is another wonderful fiction written bu an Indigenous Australian writer and sits alongside Melissa Lucashenko's Too Much Lip and Tony Birch's, The White Girl.
