Our new episode of Books On The Go is up! @mr_annie & I discuss ‘Exploded View‘ by Carrie Tiffany. 🎧📖
.
Set in 1970s Perth, it tells the story of a girl who takes a road trip with her family and reads a Holden car manual at night - but all is not well. 💔 It‘s a short, spare novel, utterly compelling from the first page.
.
We recommend this - a masterful work of Australian fiction. 🇦🇺

Freespirit This book sounds like a must read. I have just begun the tagged book 5y
Abailliekaras @Freespirit ooh that sounds interesting - what‘s it like? 5y
Freespirit David Leser the author is an Oz journalist. He wrote an article after the #metoo movement started and was encouraged by thousands of emails to write the book. So far it‘s really good...looks at attitudes of men, religions etc to women...the reasons why men feel they might “own” a women. Lots of historical references and discussion of past rapes/ murders of women. I think an important book especially as it‘s written by a man😬 5y

A quiet, devastating book. The story of a 12-yr-old girl who reads a Holden car manual obsessively (how you love books when you‘re young). The clear, unadorned writing perfectly suits the narrator & lack of sentiment makes it more poignant as we slowly realise the trauma the girl faces, but cannot name. Tiffany shows the truth in spare prose: lack of protection at home, irrelevance of school & her wish for rescue by Avon lady. Raw but beautiful.

CarolynM Mateship With Birds put me off Carrie Tiffany, but maybe I should try this one. 5y
Abailliekaras @shawnmooney I can‘t wait to hear what you think. @CarolynM I haven‘t read Mateship with Birds so not sure if this is similar - let me know if you read it! 5y
