This is a quite readable story which, despite being a little contrived in places, has enough realism to keep me interested. What's more, I was even emotionally involved at times, but that may be more a reflection of my soppy sentimentalism than the quality of the writing. I think Ms Byrski has made a quite reasonable attempt to look seriously at issues of self-acceptance and aging, with a particular emphasis on a woman's perspective. I'll be reading more of her books, courtesy of my local library (Stanton). geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Margot detests shopping malls. Any distraction is welcome, and the woman, who has chained herself to the escalator, shouting about the perils of consumerism, is certainly that. She recognises Dot immediately--from their time campaigning for women's rights, and further back still, to the heyday of the Sydney Push. Dot is in despair at the abandonment of the sisterhood, at the idea of pole dancing as empowerment and the sight of five-year-olds with false eyelashes and padded bras. She's still a fierce campaigner, but these days she isn't sure where to direct her rage. Margot's despair is quieter; a haunting resentment that her youthful ambitions have always been shelved to attend to the needs of others. Together the two women turn to the past for solutions for the future. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

In remeeting some of the old passion comes into their life and their days are changed as a result. This novel focuses on friendship and family. Although readable it was not up the compulsive read that was the Gang of four. ( )
