These days, that’s all suburbia, but back then it was more country town. I guess you could say I’m a country girl at heart When I was small, we lived east of Melbourne, at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges. You write so vividly about the landscape and Dungirri, I have to ask are you a country girl born and bred or did you move there from a city? 🙂 And can I say I love the photo of you and your dogs! Helene, thanks so much for inviting me to ‘visit’! It’s been wonderful being friends with you the past few years, and I love that we’re now both published in romantic suspense in Australia!

Raymond Aitchison: Contillo: A Novel (1966) The following feature, which appears in ABR's February 2010 issue, lists the top twenty novels as selected by ABR readers.īelow we list all 290 nominated titles, purely in alphabetical order. Particularly heartening was the large number of nineteenth-century novels and those published before the remarkable expansion of fiction publishing in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Tim Winton’s Cloudstreet, a perennial favourite since its publication in 1991, was the overwhelming favourite – by a margin of three to one to its nearest rival, Henry Handel Richardson’s The Fortunes of Richard Mahony, which was closely followed by Patrick White’s Voss and Winton’s most recent novel, Breath. Actually, many more publications were nominated, but these included short story collections and autobiographies and overseas publications, all of which were ineligible. Still, we hadn’t anticipated the flood of emails and letters and faxes that followed.īy December 15, 2009, readers had voted in their thousands for some 290 individual novels. When we sought readers’ nominations for the ABR Favourite Australian Novel (any era, any genre), we anticipated goodly interest because ABR readers are a passionate and well-read bunch.
