Читать книгу The Midnight Pianist - Julia Osborne - Страница 2

‘This is a highly realised evocation of Australian country life in the innocent early 1960s, where even the title emanates the true emotional register of a young woman’s coming-of-age in the manner of My Brilliant Career. There are so many beautiful passages, lovingly felt moments and deft touches that will strike the reader back to the purity of their own childhood, first love and love of the land that make for inescapable reading. I can thoroughly recommend it.’

Julia Osborne was born in Sydney, but for many years lived in rural New South Wales before returning to the city in 1990. Those years in the bush provided inspiration for numerous short stories published in national magazines, literary journals and anthologies.

ABC Radio National has broadcast several of her stories and one-act plays which she adapted from her fiction for radio and stage performances.

In 1991 she was awarded a writer’s grant by the Australia Council for the Arts and self-published her novel Falling Glass in 2002.

Julia now lives on the NSW mid-north coast.
