I wasn’t sure what to expect with Loot, but I ended up really enjoying the story and characters. A nice surprise!
I’m not sure if you’ve already done so, but I would LOVE a bookshelf tour!
Helen Garner sounds interesting; I'll have to add her to my "try this author" list. I bought Loot months ago and it's still waiting for my attention.
Helen Garner remains my favourite female author. Her nonfiction, especially a collection entitled a True Stories never grows old. I’ve read that Jenny Erpenbeck and enjoyed it very much. Am off to explore the other two. Thanks Bob 😊

Ooh, delighted to hear that! I’m intrigued to check out more of her work- she has that very focused, observational style that I find so intriguing! And that’s a nice overlap with Erpenbeck too! Thank you, and I hope you’re having a good week!

@@BobTheBookerer it used to be the case that The Children’s Bach was published along with Honour and Other People’s Children. In my mind the three stories are inextricably linked. 🤗
Helen Garner is an iconic Australian writer. I'm struggling through Praiseworthy by Alexis Wright although more than half way now. It's just so dense and I've found this with her writing before.
My advice is to move to N.Ireland. One day last week it was 13 degrees and rained all day.Today is 15 and breezy.
