A funny, touching memoir of writer Beryl Fletcher's life. Beginning with a childhood in wartime New Zealand and covering a move to Australia, living in Kings Cross and later, rural New South Wales and Beryl's growing feminist consciousness.
What does a place mean? An old kauri villa with a one-roomed school attached is the place that has sustained a writer, Beryl Fletcher, through turbulent years and an obsessive love. Sent away at the age of six for a few months to the house at Karamu, she discovered books and spent many nights reading by candlelight, listening to the call of the moreporks. Karamu became a symbolic landscape of safety that helped her to survive.
