![]() The old woman, Nora, is older than the author – no, I’m not revisiting the path I took last week with The Weekend – and I got the impression her age was about the same as the year, ie. I was mildly surprised as I was reading by the gentle subject matter – an old woman reflects on her life when I was expecting something much more savagely political, like A Kindness Cup for example. I don’t have any excuse, Jessica Anderson’s name is there plain as day as they say, on the cover, but I had no reason (I thought) to look at it.Īstley (1925-2004) and Anderson (1916-2010) are of the same generation both from Queensland both moved to Sydney, and both continued, I think, to write about Queensland. And it was only when I got to the end and idly looked at some biographical details that I discovered I wasn’t. All the time I was reading this, I thought I was reading a Thea Astley. ![]() ![]() ![]() Brona’s AusReadingMonth Bingo, November 2019 – ![]()
