This week’s teaser comes is for those who like subtle literary works. Even if you don’t, the teaser is thought-provoking – it stood out for me.
Those believers with impossibly difficult lives – having lost the power of speech, the use of their limbs, suffered disfigurement – will say even so that God has looked after them and they are blessed. It had always puzzled her, that the faithful could be such good sports. (Trio by Geraldine Wooller, p89)
Here’s the blurb:
Celia, Marcia, and Mickey meet and become friends in London. Searching for work and success in the theatre, they end up sharing a flat and a deep bond of friendship.
Set in Italy, London and Australia from the sixties to current times, Trio is the story of their complex personalities and relationships, of the betrayals and desires that threaten to undermine what is in hindsight most important to them. London is vibrantly alive in these pages, filled with music and drama, as is eighties and contemporary Perth, Australia, and Calabria, Italy. But at its heart this is a novel about love and friendship, loss and memory; about three unforgettable characters, and the special moments in all our lives that, through perceived hurt or fear, sometimes threaten to fall away and be lost forever. In this, her fourth novel, Geraldine Wooller captures with masterful wit and intelligence, and without a hint of sentimentality the essence of the human predicament.
Trio is published by Transit Lounge Publishing (RRP $27.99) and is available here.

Your right. The teaser does make me stop and ponder. I’ve wondered about this myself.
