Absolutely loved it!
I avoided reading this for the longest time as I thought a magpie narrator wasn't for me- turns out I was v wrong! Its the kind of book that has made me look at the world differently- brilliant.
Fascinating piece of history - great NZ connections
What an epic life story! I read this based on my son's recommendation:)
I felt this book in a visceral way- motherhood, womanhood, living in the country...... and its got clever writing features.
An epic memoir from one of my often quoted wahine from my uni days- she is a personal hero.
Gripping & galloping pace- loved it!
Exciting and unique- loved it.
Full of the extraordinary, the mundane and the sad stories of small town Aotearoa. My best friends parents are in it too!
Interesting, sad and generally a good yarn with insights into nz back in the day. This woman has lived a big life.
Really enjoyed it.
Fascinating history featuring many well known NZers
A respectfully written and fascinating book.
Quirky, funny and thoughtful
Great person but not a well written book sadly
