This is a book about love, grief, ageing, dementia and aged care – perhaps not usually the stuff matched with fart joke humour and yet here it is and done with finesse and charm.
Ventura Press, Australia, 2021
The Banksia House Breakout deals with themes of domestic and elder abuse, of respect for the elderly and respect for women. Written like a road movie, and with all the visuals the form evokes, it tells the story of a group of aged care residents, three of whom take matters in their own hands when they meet obstacles to fulfil their life’s desires.
