The shops and streets of Brunswick, kite flying in Ahmedabad,
moonlight on the Snowy River, family, friends, birth and death...
Clare Boyd-Macrae writes about her life and her Christian faith
with breathtaking frankness, inviting us into an intimate space.
'As Clare Boyd-Macrae well understands, the art of the reflective,
short essay lies in its apparent artlessness. It is intimate
and conversational, as if the writer were simply thinking aloud.
Her essays, many of which were published in The Age,
bring to mind the beautifully crafted pieces of Charmian Clift,
which also appeared in newspaper columns. Like Clift, Boyd-Macrae
knows how to take ordinary events and moments - camping with
one's children, the experience of walking around one's suburb,
a chat with the washing-machine repairman - and weave them into
memorable meditations on the complex emotions, values and dreams
that underpin daily life...' -- Fiona Capp The Age
