The Engagement by Chloe Hooper | Reading Sheilas
https://readingsheilas.wordpress.com/2015/01/16/the-engagement-by-chloe-hooper
Australian Women's Writing. January 16, 2015. The Engagement by Chloe Hooper. My rating: 2 of 5 stars. What a strange book; I really have no idea what to make of it. 8211;has a vaguely-defined mental illness that is expressed through violence and manipulation. The audio book was read well by Jane Nolan, if with some often-distracting long vowels. View all my reviews. Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window). Share on Facebook (Opens in new window).

Australian Women's Writing. I’m beginning 2015 with a renewed sense of purpose for this project, following some wonderful encouragement from Elizabeth Lheude, the founder of the AWW challenges. I’d like to do a solo recording of Miles Franklin’s. At the moment there’s a collaborative recording available. At Librivox, but given many listeners like a single voice–and an Australian one for Australian authors–then I want to make that available. Some Everyday Folk and Dawn. Started: 19 January 2015.

Books, life, etc. Autism and Asperger’s. Boomer and Me: A memoir of motherhood, and Asperger’s. Problem child: In defence of the memoir. The fact that I’m writing a book often comes up in conversation, usually in the context of answering,. What are you doing this weekend? Writing my damn book. Inevitably, this prompts the polite question, ‘So, what is your book about? At which point, I regret having said anything. By this time, I’ve built my coffin, climbed into it and nailed it shut.

Australian Women's Writing. January 5, 2015. Sea Hearts (The Brides of Rollrock Island). The Brides of Rollrock Island. My rating: 5 of 5 stars.
