Pickpick

I absolutely loved this charming, quirky story of twenty something siblings Greta & Valdin & their complicated Māori/Russian/Catalan family & the “four million nonsense anecdotes … life is comprised of” as they learned about themselves & about one another. I enjoyed their company so much I didn‘t want to finish reading. It may be my favourite book of the year. I can‘t thank you enough, Paula, for bringing it into my life. #kiwifiction

Centique Oh wow, that is such high praise! I‘m so glad you enjoyed it so much. There is nothing like the feeling of giving someone a book that they love💕 I thought it was a delight too. I hope many more Littens read it! 1y
Centique And your photo is beautiful - those flowers! 1y
CarolynM @Centique I feel about it almost the way I felt about Too Much Lip - the characters are so vivid and the story feels very real, in spite of its quirks. It made me laugh a lot but it also moved me. I hope we can get more people to read it🤞 It‘s a very good year for the roses, all our bushes are covered in flowers. This is the Pierre de Ronsard - it is absolutely bursting with them! 1y
