It is not that the story feels out of her control, and it certainly addresses serious themes, but there’s a giddy, accelerating playfulness tumbling through this tale. The Hoarder shares many themes and elements with Himself, but it’s altogether more antic, as if Kidd decided to cut the brake lines. Jess Kidd’s debut, Himself (which I reviewed here), was the welcome arrival of a distinctive voice in literary fiction, one lilting with Irish cadences, unafraid to blur the line between reality and the supernatural, shot through with black humour, and blessed with a gift for memorable descriptions. ![]() ![]() ![]() Born into an Italian family of streghe, witches who live secretly among humans, Emilia vows to seek retribution at any cost – even if it means using the dark magic she was brought up to fear, the sort of dangerous magic that has long been forbidden to her kind.Ĭonsumed by her grief and anger, Emilia summons a demon – specifically Wrath, one of the seven princes of Hell known as the Wicked.

Tiffany writes so well that Mateship With Birds always remains a good read, particularly for lovers of nature. In practice, the second half of the novel often seems to be treading water - especially as more and more details pile up about dairy farming and the life-cycle of the local kookaburras. In theory, this lack of momentum is entirely appropriate for characters feeling badly stuck. The trouble is that, having put all these elements so beautifully in place, she essentially leaves them there. Although both are treated with obvious sympathy, Tiffany never sentimentalises the toughness of their lives - or of their surroundings. Meanwhile, his neighbour Betty is bringing up her two children as best she can, despite her crippling loneliness. Mateship With Birds is set in the rural Australia of 1953, where dairy farmer Harry goes about his daily tasks as best he can, despite his crippling loneliness. Carrie Tiffany’s first novel, Everyman’s Rules for Scientific Living, was published to huge acclaim in 2006 - and for a while it looks as if her second is going to be more or less perfect. ![]() |
