Bøger af Judith White

Bomble is dead, Mr Hubbard is dead, but Leo and Toby are very much alive. The psychologist's behaviour is not entirely ethical, and Ruth is gloriously and wonderfully wicked. Roland finds a surprise in his mother's wardrobe and the cow-girl finds her way across the bridge. Little wonder that these stories by Judith White won the BNZ Katherine Mansfield Centenary Award in 1988. First published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1991, the stories in Visiting Ghosts are quirky and unpredictable, exploring some serious issues in unconventional ways. Elegantly written, with acute powers of observation and wry humour, they explore the frailty and resilience of the human condition in a broad range of circumstances. This collection of stories, the first in the Timeless Tangerine series, is a New Zealand classic, and their author a significant voice in the New Zealand literary landscape.

Sam is hot under the collar, and it has nothing to do with the summer swelter! The frail woman waltzed into his office on a steamy Saturday in July, wanting Sam to exonerate her husband of the charge of murder. But the murders occurred over nineteen years ago and the man in question was killed in prison some months back. But that wasn't the worst of it! It just so happens that her husband was Carlo 'the Confessor' Andolucci, the once notorious Purple Gang member. Sam knew this name all too well...Carlo Andolucci had brought devastation to the Flanagan family while employed by Abe Saperstein, head of the group of thugs that terrorized the streets of Detroit. There was no way he'd take on this case to help this woman...or would he? Once he discusses the matter with others, he begins to hear a side of Andolucci he didn't know. Had Sam held on to a belief that was wrong all these years? Only by rethinking his decision to take on this case will answer that. Only by agreeing to investigate would he ever find the truth.

In a memoir spanning a century of family life, Judith White reflects on the pain inflicted on lives in Britain and Australia by an empire built on coal. Born in the North of England, cradle of the Industrial Revolution, she rekindles childhood memories to tell the stories of the remarkable women and men who struggled through two world wars and the Depression. Fleeing Britain in the Thatcher years she learned, from the First Nations people and the writers and artists of Australia, what a university education had never taught her about the devastating impact of colonisation. Children of Coal adds a singular voice to the rising chorus calling for the public reckoning with history that is needed to free society from the shackles of the empire of the mind. "An engaging family tapestry of lives influenced by a country's dependence on coal. Written with astute political economy perspectives and in elegant prose, this insightful and gutsy truth telling shows Judith's lifetime commitment to social justice and her timely hopes for a post Covid social revolution." - Professor Stuart Rees, founder of the Sydney Peace Prize "Judith White writes with great affection, understanding and humour about her upbringing in the north of England and the heritage which did so much to shape her character and her direction in life. A book alive with people you would like to have known." - Sandra Hall, film critic
