This long essay by Carmel Bird is an engagingly personal, playful and thoughtful examination of the arrival in 1832 in Tasmania of a shipload of women, sent to redress the imbalance of genders in that colonial settlement.
“I love reading this sort of writing – it’s a challenge, a puzzle. I commend it to you – for the story and for the clever, cheeky writing.” Whispering Gums
Carmel Bird grew up in Tasmania, and now lives in rural Victoria. She has published novels and short fiction, essays, children’s books, and manuals on writing, as well as anthologies of stories and non-fiction. Her other recent book is a collection of stories, My Hearts Are Your Hearts, published by Spineless Wonders. Fair Game is Carmel’s first lengthy piece of memoir.
