Girls High Tekijä: Barbara Anderson
This is the first novel by this acclaimed New Zealand novelist. Her stories, like Fiona Kidman’s, reflect the period of her life living in New Zealand. As I suspected this author was a teacher in her younger years. Many of her books remind me of women’s lives of my mother’s era. I recommend trying her, especially her prize winning A Portrait of the Artist’s Wife and I personally recognised the women depicted in A Long Hot Summer
(7.5) I picked this up as i was waiting for a library book for our discussion. I have enjoyed this writer's novels for her depictions of life in New Zealand during the years I grew up. In many of these short stories the settings, language and characters created that sense of times now past.
I am now keen to read one of her novels again.

Very good - definitely another half a star. Particularly clever how the narrator of the book changes at certain points without any warning to illuminate the main character from outside - I was always aware when the switch happened - and it was done without putting the internal life of the other character on the line - so produces a real sense of the main character achieving a change (of heart!) without commenting on the other characters who may or may not be changing - who knows? because the narrative is not focusing on that. Hard to describe. Also a nice 'New Zealand' feel - I felt I was there and not here (UK). A pleasure to spend some time with this book.… (lisätietoja)
