Items related to Tirra Lirra By the River
Life has become a series of escapes for Nora Porteous - from small-town family life; the hypocrisy of a mean-hearted husband and in-laws; and the suffocation of Suburbia. Nora endures with courage, intelligence and humour as, in this book, she looks back at her 70-odd years of life.

Book Description Paperback. Liza used to say that she saw her past life as a string of roughly-graded balls, and so did Hilda have a linear conception of hers, thinking of it as a track with detours. But for some years now I have likened mine to a globe suspended in my head, and ever since the shocking realisation that waste is irretrievalbe, I have been careful not to let this globe spin to expose the nether side on which my marriage has left its multitude of images.Nora Porteous has spent most of her life waiting to escape. Fleeing from her small-town family and then from her stifling marriage to a mean-spirited husband, Nora arrives finally in London where she creates a new life for herself as a successful dressmaker.Now in her seventies, Nora returns to Queensland to settle into her childhood home.But Nora has been away a long time, and the people and events of her past are not at all like she remembered them. And while some things never change, Nora is about to discover just how selective her 'globe of memory' has been.Tirra Lirra by the River is a moving account of one woman's remarkable life, a beautifully written novel which displays the lyrical brevity of Jessica Anderson's award-winning style. 1982. Reprint. A very good copy. Seller Inventory # 12337954
