No wonder she sees no need for equality. She was able to spend her time studying languages, piano, and singing. Her life was full of social amenities, dances, etc. But still, she spends most of her days working on writing. She was and for me is an inspiration. Seven Little Australians, her book, I will be reading next. This is worth the effort it took me to read.
Maybe you will like it, too. Not sure who is next for the read but I'll mark the site accordingly. The entries are arranged by year, spanning over some forty years, and are interspersed with commentary by Poole as well as illustrations, photographs and cartoons relevant to the diary entries although, unfortunately, not placed close to the diary entries to which they refer.
There is also an extensive set of appendices which are frequently referred to in the text. Turner makes mention of other contemporary authors she encounters A. The diaries seem to indicate a young woman who has a volatile relationship with friends, family and her prospective husband, Herbert Curlewis, but also a woman with a shrewd business sense.
The joys and heartbreak of acceptance and rejection by publishers is interspersed with the frustration of finding suitable servants and the challenge of bringing up a young family whilst trying to write for a living. On the whole, quite interesting.
Apr 30, Mel rated it liked it. An interesting read, some good insight into early s Australia. A good companion piece to works like Austen and co from an Aussie perspective. Turner definitely has a knack for writing! Her diary is a fun read! Nicola rated it really liked it Feb 09, I don't know why, but I just couldn't get into this. I usually enjoy diaries, but 50 pages in, and I'm mostly bored. Maybe, I'll try again later.
