Joan London: The Good Parents

The Good Parents


Description

A two-time winner of Australia's prestigious The Age Book of the Year Award, Joan London's debut novel, Gilgamesh, was published to rapturous acclaim both in her native Australia and in the United States. Now, London has delivered The Good Parents, a tender and compelling tale of mother love and the harrowing moment when a daughter spreads her wings and vanishes from her parents' orbit. Maya de Jong is an eighteen-year-old country girl who moves to Melbourne and begins an affair with her new boss. When Maya's parents, Toni and Jacob, arrive for a visit, Maya is gone--no one knows where. Maya, for reasons of her own, leaves haunting clues in late-night calls to her brother at home, carefully avoiding detection by the two people who love her most. Ultimately, to find her daughter Toni will have to revisit a part of her past that she thought she had shut off forever--the closest she ever came to being a lost girl herself. The Good Parents is a stunning portrait of familial love and how far we can drift apart in the moments between the words we speak. Enthralling, unsettling, and riveting, The Good Parents is at once utterly contemporary and a story as old as humanity itself.

"Awe-inspiring . . . a masterly synthesis." The sheer beauty of Noro is that each ball or hank of the exquisite multi-coloured yarn is individually dyed to produce a unique palette of subtle shadings and vivid hues. Because of the colourful nature of the yarns knitting with them is always exciting, as you do not know how and when the colours run into each other. Each knitter creates a truly unique garment every time she knits. Jane Ellison's new book features a collection of 30 glorious designs, knit in Noro yarns. The book is divided into six basic silhouettes, each of which is modified to create four original garments and a few accessories. The result? Simple, figure-flattering silhouettes teamed with bright vibrant colours in designs that you'll turn to time and time again. From a relaxed Striped Tunic and a Chevron-sleeve Cardi to a Ribbed V-neck Pullover and a Lace The Good Parents download ebook Cover-up Wrap, each pattern is accompanied by lush photography, clear instructions and a chart indicating how the designer has modified the original pattern.
