A fascinating, innovative memoir/novel about an Australian woman/girl whose mother burns books and convinces her that reading and writing can change reality.

Francesca Rendle-Short opens her book by introducing herself and her mother, Dr. Angel Rendle-Short, a woman deeply committed to banning and burning books, She believed herself on a mission from God to save all the children of Queensland from “smut.” At times, she involved Francesca in her flamboyant actions. As an adult, Francesca tracked down records of her mother’s words and, more importantly, tried to come to terms with her feeling about her.
