The Redhead gets the Gig

By Linn Lorkin

4 stars

Fascinating and funny life of Linn Lorkin, musician now in her 80s. She was interviewed on Nat Radio which is why I got this from the library and then listened to more of her music, including the NZ 1960s summer story At the Beach - photos in book illustrate her colourful life.
Helen Kelly - Her life

By Rebecca McPhie

4 stars

Unionist Helen Kelly was taken too soon with cancer and Rebecca McPhie documents her life and work in detail. Includes her work with Pike River families and she is featured in the recent movie. Inspirational and thorough.
Hardship and Hope

By Revecca McPhie

5 stars

Brilliant piece of social justice writing by Listener writer - looking at the inequality in our country and alongside the tales of poverty are the people and programmes which offer some hope.
