For Booklover Book Review's challenge, here's my list of three, because I am destined to be nothing more than a tourist, with additional possibilities also to be found on my shelves:
1. Lilian’s Story by Kate Grenville
2. Foreign Correspondence by Geraldine Brooks
3. Death of a River Guide by Richard Flanagan
Tim Winton, Shirley Hazzard, Thomas Keneally, Michelle de Kretser, Andrew McGahan
And for Page Turners' challenge, I will be adding a fourth from the authors also listed above although as I think Foreign Correspondence is non-fiction, I'll have to choose yet another replacement for it for this version of the challenge. That makes me a mere ankle biter for this challenge! I think I'd rather be a joey but since that's not a category, that's not in the cards.
Kristen, you have lots of bookgroup friends to visit in Australia, not just one pen pal...We're all going to be very excited when the first non-Aussie makes it here. Interesting list you've got there BTW. I think I've read Lillian's Story. I loved Dark Places. Loved it. Foreign Correspondence is nonfiction- Geraldine Brooks looks up her old pen pals and visits them- seriously. It's fantastic. And Death of a River Guide was memorable in it's own way. I remember which particular holiday to NZ I was on when I read it (a detail I don't always remember), and I remember bits of it as a kind of shimmery illusion, which is appropriate really.
