Just Arrived: “The Year Of Falling” by Janis Freegard
Last year I invited Janis to do a guest post here when her novel The Year of Falling was published by Mākaro Press — and she gave us a very enjoyable interview with her three protagonists: Selina, Smith, and Quilla. You can read the interview here:
Janis Freegard — & An Interview With Selina, Smith, and Quilla, Three of The Year of Falling’s Narrators
Ever since then I have been “meaning to” read The Year Of Falling — so when I was in Wellington last month I took full advantage of the opportunity to catch up with Janis to also get a (signed, of course!) copy of her book. I must say, it is not only high time, but I am really looking forward to diving in.
For those of you who don’t have your own copy and/or haven’t read it yet, here’s what the back cover says about what the journey of story that I’m embarking on:
“When the porcelain dolls start turning up on Selina’s doorstep, she knows it’s a bad sign. Shortly afterwards she embarks on an ill-judged affair with a celebrity TV chef. Both events, and the lies and untold truths at their heart, precipitate a spectacular fall from grace for high-flying graphic artist, Selina.
Enter Smith: the sister who saved Selina once before. But this time Smith’s life is complicated by a small boy called Ragnar, and she’s almost too late…”
