“May you live in interesting times!” goes the old saying with typical, understated, eastern wisdom and wit.
Who among us could not relate to that wise proverb? Certainly not I!
Set in New Zealand, this book allows a reflective glance back at the last year or so and offers snapshots and thoughts about the events that unfolded both internationally, locally and also privately.
Some events were terrifying, some unsettling, some funny, some mundane and many were desperately sad.
In Jones Street, as in previous books, I attempt to show the world through my eyes and interpret what I see as honestly as I can.
I hope you enjoy it.
