Parlour Games for Modern Families none WINNER of the Book of the Year for Older Children in the 2010 Australian Book Industry Awards. Yey! ‘A paperback stacked with a paper carnival of fun.’ ‘This book has the lot.’ ‘Who knew you could have so much fun without power cords? I love this book.’ ‘A great way to occupy nephews and nanna without resorting to Bourbon or horror movies.’ |
The Rainy Season none SHORT-LISTED for the 2009 Melbourne Prize for Literature Best Writing Award for a work of ‘outstanding clarity, originality and creativity by a Victorian writer, 40 years or under’. ‘The Rainy Season is successful on many levels. Primarily, it’s the story of a young woman coming to terms with her feelings of rejection and gaining a sense of herself; but it’s also a vivid picture of expatriate life, the exuberance and recklessness of youth, a tortured country coming to terms with change, and the agony of the once-young fighters who were largely reviled or unacknowledged when they got home. Finally, it is a vibrant description of a lively, chaotic and contradictory city and culture. A wonderful achievement.’ Readings Monthly |
