A piece of New Zealand (and Mt Albert) history


On Monday night we discussed our first book of the year - Something for the Birds by Jacqueline Fahey.  This was all very close to home as various members of the group (or their immediate family)  remember the extended family of Jacqueline herself - from her use of the public library to her husband being in charge of Carrington Hospital to Jacqueline's sister and family.

Recently Jacqueline has had a second book about her life published titled Before I forget.

    From Mary...
    I enjoyed the historical aspects of the book and gaining insights into what influenced the author, whose paintings I admire but did feel she gave lots of almost domestic details which didn’t interest me much. The insights into those early families in Timaru were great and I’d have enjoyed discussing it with you all.
