The third book of Carolyn van Langenberg's Fish Lips trilogy completes the saga of a troubled farming family based in North Eastern New South Wales and their connections over two generations with families in the Malaysian island of Penang. Blue Moon , though the third title in the trilogy, is not a sequel to the prior novels. Jacqueline Dark is a social worker specialising in emergency housing for the poor in Sydney during the 1990s. Jacq and her brother Kel hit a bad mid-life patch when memories of their rural childhood with their crazy mother Lydia destabilise them. Jacq takes stress leave to Penang in Malaysia. While there, she tries to solve the mystery of her mother's belief that there is a family connection with Penang. Lydia's life is paralleled by Ng Chu Yee in Penang, Malaysia, who is also frustrated, in her case by her husband's gambling. Crisply written and tightly structured, Blue Moon is one of those novels that is hard to put down. The Fish Lips Trilogy… Blue Moon 2004 $27.95 The Teetotaller's Wake 2003 $22.95 Fish Lips 2001 $22.95 |
