These two hands: a memoir

 

‘I was born in 1929 and the world went into a deep depression.  Then Napier fell down.  Two years later my father shot himself.  He was from Gore.  Drama didn’t just follow me it came out to meet me with a big tah-dah.’

So Ōtaki writer Renée begins her memoir, These Two Hands,  published in October 2017 by Mākaro Press.

Renée has written eight novels, over twenty plays, and non-fiction.  Her memoir is written in patches like a quilt, with 88 patches, one for every year of her life.

These Two Hands is available from all good bookshops for $38.

The Skeleton Woman

A baby on the doorstep, a skeleton woman biding time before the truth comes out. Rose Anthony’s life has just become much more complicated.

Rose Anthony – an engaging and imperfect heroine with her fiftieth birthday looming − finds an abandoned baby outside her kitchen door. Bogged down in the drama of the impending birthday, a serious row with her lover, and the anxiety of waiting to hear how her wall hanging has fared in the Stacey Competition, there’s no room for this dilemma.

Scrawled on a card in black felt tip, the words ‘For Rose Anthony’ leave no doubt that the baby was left for her. But whose baby is it?
