This is a book which will be of interest to you, even if you aren’t paying off a mortgage or contemplating property investment. It is full of old-fashioned wisdom about the possibility of a simpler, less materialistic lifestyle, about saving versus spending and about priorities and goals.

This gentle book sits between memoir and philosophical treatise, between science and sentiment. It raises many questions we all must consider, holding up the quoll as its optimistic example.

This is a memoir, a series of almost stream of consciousness letters to the author’s dead daughter alluding to parts of her own life and their years together, including those leading up to her daughter’s death. It is an exquisitely painful and painfully exquisite work, not least because it is not fiction.
