I loved reading Sonya Hartnett’s Golden Boys. Fine literary writing giving an interesting portrait of Australian family life in the 70s/early 80s.

    It is well worth the read Colleen. A great portrait of life in that time and a study of manipulation.

Great giveaway – these all sound like great books 🙂 I’d have to choose Eugenia (or maybe Golden Boys) if I win.

The only one I haven’t read is Eugenia, so I would pick that one.

  Eugenia is unique….and a very sad true story. Good luck with your entry.

  Thanks Marcia 🙂 Great Blog hop isn’t it? And I agree Karen M David is a terrific author – we have so many great Aussie authors don’t we – we are spoilt for choice. What genre do you prefer to read Marcia?

I am enjoying entering this comp as I am finding many books that I now want to read and discovering so many new sites. Australia Day is my birthday so fingers crossed I will have a new book to read.

All of the books sound fascinating, however Eugenia by Mark Tedeschi QC – that’s one I’ve been keen to read for a long time.

Reply
- readingwritingandriesling | January 24, 2015 at 10:52 am
  
  Worth a look – I am disappointed that some women’s political activist/pressure group haven’t got Eugenia exonerated.

Golden Boys is the one I’m most interested in. Hartnett has such a lovely style and her books always have glorious atmosphere.

  Golden Boys is beautiful written with sinister undertones.
