Smashwords book reviews by Deanne Seigle-Buyat

  • A Nice Boy on July 16, 2017

    A wide scope of stories that reflect our colour and diversity as a nation. Ranging from poignant to rollicking, the stories explore how we are shaped - not only by our great, wide land, but also by our history, our communities, our families and our neighbours. There is a celebration of tolerance in its pages, laced with glimpses of the damage done by those who aren’t. And I totally adore the story called "Oscar Levitz and the Human Tower of Tarragona". It is GOLD!
  • Timber! on July 16, 2018

    Another great collection of Australian short stories. Two of my favourites are "Timber!" by Gabrielle Gardener (a wonderful delight) and "Soundscape" by Chris Moss (breath-taking) but so many deserve a mention. The scope of genres is impressive and the snapshots of Australian life (from every angle) are true and thoroughly engaging. A great Australian anthology.
