I bought this book a couple of years ago and realized recently that I never read it. I started on it the other day and something just clicked in my head that I needed help and starting researching. It’s a wonderful book, so far!
A post script to this. I was sitting upstairs reading the book yesterday, and I was thinking ‘where did I get this book from… it smells of cigarette smoke!”
Now, please don’t laugh as you imagine me sitting there sniffing the book: the smell truly was driving me crazy.
I looked up and there was smoke all through the air.
I was able to get the washing in from the clothes before the smoke infused itself with them, so it was timely.
And the smoke was from a bush fire in my area that had only just started. Fortunately it was put out by the fire fighters before it became a major issue. I can’t say the same for a lot of other places in Victoria though, there is a lot of the state burning at the moment.
I count my blessings that I am not in one of those areas.
