221, Almost Perfect, Dianne Blacklock
Borrowed the book from library in Spore for its background setting of the story cause i missed Australia heaps. Book was written by Australian author, very nicely written, very engaging. I finished half the book in one single sitting, and would have continued if i wasn't so sick and needed to sleep.
"The problem lay in the fact that Georgie had a naive belief in the goodness of her fellow man. Because she was pathologially honest herself, she trusted everyone else at face value. This meant that she went through life with a great big sign on her forhead that read SUCKER."
Above description reminds me of me.
Love the book. Gentle humour. Lots of insight into the way families work.
"Where are the girls?"
"In the sand pit."
She sighed. "Not having their baths?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"Because they are in the sandpit."
She sighed again, more loudly this time.
"Ah," said Nick, coming toward her. "The sigh of disdain, followed by the groan of contempt" He pulled her into his arms but she didnt protest. "Yes, the girls are still in sandpit, but dinner is in the over, the birthday cake is baked, three loads of washing have been hung out, brought it and put away, and our two small daughters, as yet unbathed in water, however, been bathed in the light of paternal devotion all day. I didnt even catch The Bold and The Beautiful" He dipped Louise back, holding her steady,"So now, don't i desserve the kiss of unconditional love and affection?"
