Everyhting about these stories is what it means to live in Aotearoa. So quintessentially of our country these stories delight, every one of them.Whether to read right through or dip in and out of its all about us.
A diverse collection of essays (preoccupations) that are quirky, reflective and insightful – often touching on forgotten snippets of NZ history. One to keep for rereading.
i liked the book. remind me of steve braunias listener columns about lamingtons and non-espresso coffee. best ones were about his grandma, staffroom cups, and norm kirk.
This is a book I am going to have to come back to (it is way past it's due date at the library). However the essays that I have read (about half) are clever, thoughtful, keenly observant, well researched, full of information, sometimes funny and often bringing back memories of a different time when I grew up in the seventies and eighties. There are zinger sentences and sentiments which jumped off the page and resonated with me. Yes - this is definitely a book I will return to.
