The story is a simple one, but told in a way that keeps you reading as much for the elegance of the telling as for the action it describes. Here is prose with a light, sunny breeze blowing through it... Why can't more people write like this? A little gem.' - \u003cem\u003eThe Age\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'colourful, evocative and energetic' - \u003cem\u003eSydney Morning Herald\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'Kim Kelly's \u003cem\u003eWild Chicory\u003c\/em\u003e is told with wit, warmth and courage.

It's a slice of ordinary life rich in history, folklore and fairy tale, and a portrait of the precious relationship between a granddaughter, Brigid, and her grandmother, Nell.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e From the windswept, emerald coast of County Kerry, to the slums of Sydney's Surry Hills; and from the bitter sectarian violence of Ulster, to tranquillity of rural New South Wales, Brigid weaves her grandmother's tales into a small but beautiful epic of romance and tragedy, of laughter and the cold reality of loss. It's Nell's tales, tall and true, that spur Brigid to write her own, too.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, it's a story of finding your feet in a new land - be that a new country, or a new emotional space - and the wonderful trove of narrative we carry with us wherever we might go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.37 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 20, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47248454516985,"sku":"9781925786262","price":18.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/RXVwZU11L0F4MTZCSXd4VnBET1c3Zz09.webp?v=1768635134","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/wild-chicory-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
