Caught today at Redgum Cafe.

Journal Entry 11 by wingmarmee463wing at Templestowe, Victoria Australia on Saturday, January 29, 2022
No doubt about it this is a somewhat confronting story, poignant and funny. Well worth reading.

Journal Entry 13 by wingJean-Solwing at Templestowe, Victoria Australia on Thursday, March 3, 2022
So I picked up this book today because I was after a short book with a title starting with an "e" to complete my Goodreads Summer challenge (which I have already failed, by the way, as it is already Autumn in Oz!) and when I go to journal it, it turns out that not only this little book is from a NZ author, has travelled all the way from Oceania to Europe and back, but went to Les Sables d'Olonne, a place I know very well and is 100km from where my parents live! It has also been read by just about everyone who attends the meetup, so now it's my turn. All in all it was meant to happen.

UPDATE: It rarely happens to me (and I so hate when it does) but I could not get into this book at all. The writing style did not work for me and whilst the confronting story managed to grip me now and again I found it too all over the place. I'm all for non-linear structures in narratives but here it was lost on me! Back to travelling it goes and hopefully finds readers that appreciate it.
