Girls High af Barbara Anderson
This is the first novel by this acclaimed New Zealand novelist. Her stories, like Fiona Kidman’s, reflect the period of her life living in New Zealand. As I suspected this author was a teacher in her younger years. Many of her books remind me of women’s lives of my mother’s era. I recommend trying her, especially her prize winning A Portrait of the Artist’s Wife and I personally recognised the women depicted in A Long Hot Summer
(7.5) I picked this up as i was waiting for a library book for our discussion. I have enjoyed this writer's novels for her depictions of life in New Zealand during the years I grew up. In many of these short stories the settings, language and characters created that sense of times now past.
I am now keen to read one of her novels again.

Very good - definitely another half a star. Particularly clever how the narrator of the book changes at certain points without any warning to illuminate the main character from outside - I was always aware when the switch happened - and it was done without putting the internal life of the other character on the line - so produces a real sense of the main character achieving a change (of heart!) without commenting on the other characters who may or may not be changing - who knows? because the narrative is not focusing on that. Hard to describe. Also a nice 'New Zealand' feel - I felt I was there and not here (UK). A pleasure to spend some time with this book.… (mere)
