Bodice Rippers Book Reviews: Kathy Lette
Read by Tracy 2008 and 2009
Tracy recommends as a hilarious take your mind off your problems read
I read The Llama Parlour, Mad Cows, Foetal Attraction, Altar Ego and Dead Sexy in one long weekend to Bali lazing by the pool. I couldn't help but just lie there chuckling to myself. So perfect holiday reading. There is nothing deep and meaningful but when on holidays you don't want to be solving the world's crisis.
All the books involve the escapades of a lead character and how they fall into and out of trouble. Lette's first book was Puberty Blues which made her an icon of Australian literature with her recreations of the surfie lifestyle. Go back and rewatch the film, it will make you cringe but you will realise that she is also a great descriptive writer of the times. Going back and looking at the books I have read, I am now keen to catch up on Lette's newer books for some light hearted fun.
