Books That Have Changed Me
This term, we are sharing stories about the stories that have changed us. These might be books from our childhood, our youth or simply last week!
Thank you to the following staff who have contributed to the first part of our series.

Anne Marchment The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan  |
A gripping story about protagonist Dorrigo as he survives the horrors and devastations of war. It very cleverly interweaves the Japanese poetic form of haiku throughout and Flanagan’s prose is haunting in its horror and its beauty. The novel also deals with the intimate relationship between the past, present and future and the impact on individuals when they collide. This book stayed with me for a long time after my first reading and I was truly saddened when I finished it, knowing I had to put it down. |
Keep reading, writing, reflecting, composing, creating, musing and connecting.
