Rosemary Nissen-Wade: Aussie poet and teacher of metaphysics – a personal view
My bestie nicknamed me SnakyPoet on her blog, and I liked it. (It began as
'the poet of the serpentine Northern Rivers' and became more and more abbreviated.)

When We Believed in Mermaids by Barbara O'Neal


When We Believed in Mermaids
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The most beautiful book I’ve read in a long time

The plot and characters are engaging, and she delves deep into the human heart … but what really captivated me was the beauty of the writing. She makes it seem effortless, but I’m sure it’s not. I was unaware of this author before finding this book. I see she has written a number of others and is described in a way that suggests she has won many awards for them. I don’t wonder at that, and I plan to read everything else she’s ever written. This one was un-put-down-able, not for things like suspense and excitement, though it had those qualities among others - but because it was such a beautiful read that I couldn’t bear to stop.
