Digging for Spain: A Writer's Journey ISBN: 9781877361968 Release: 03-2008 Subject: NZ Non-fiction, memoir, autobiography Format: Paperback RRP: NZ$29.99 |
‘There are two places for every one: the place we imagine and the one waiting for us when we get there.’
Here is a portrait of the growth of a writer, of the challenges of faith, and the route one woman takes to reach a better accommodation with herself, and her family. It’s a heartfelt and lyrical narrative — as the author questions her closest relationships, and some of the stifling patterns she has fallen into. Yet it will be instantly recognisable to anyone who has ever tried to juggle relationships, the craving for solitude, and the urge to write or to devote oneself to a career which demands total focus.
Delicately written, yet tough at the core, this memoir weaves together a journey to Spain with several years of internal change. Digging for Spain explores an intensely personal yet common rite of passage: that of a woman learning to separate her identity from motherhood, marriage, and beliefs formed in youthful inexperience. It also shows the astonishing versatility of one of our best-loved writers for young adults.
A stunning and captivating reading experience.
