Welcome to Litsy!

Cat, coffee and a good read on a rainy Easter afternoon

In my home state, Huon Valley Tasmania

Set in Tasmania, this is an unusual story told in an unusual way, from the points-of-view of a large number of characters, most human but some not.

Very glad I got to discover this talented author via #BookCrossing.

Thank you so much for the Christmas gift @Rissreads This is the cutest Christmas card 💕The little fox! I am excited for both of these books and the bookmark is exquisite. You have spoiled me 😍 I hope you have had a lovely day and maybe spent some time with that cute kitten Earl! Merry Christmas!

Overall, I enjoyed this one even though the town is a little stereotypical and despite the very odd reason that most everyone in town shuns the main character but that I could never really accept as plausible. Even with these shortcomings, the novel makes me want to visit Tasmania.

Solo sunset walk with the tagged book in my ears. I also saw bats out hunting, which always gives me a thrill!

Dinner prep and an audiobook. The calm between busy spells on this lovely but packed Saturday.

Took a little time to get into the plot. the ending was sad.

I really enjoyed this!
It put me in mind of the drama Black Snow, with Travis Fimmel: it's Australian, has dual timelines, a young woman is murdered and the past gets raked up again, to the distress of the inhabitants of a close knit town. (Could wish for greater victim-diversity, but, as Kieran observes, "they don't go after men and babies.")

I ended up having several longer than usual cardio workouts because I didn't want to stop listening. ?
