A Woody Creek Novel

review 1: In an earlier life I laboured on soaps for a living. When I first started I had a milquetoast executive producer who forbade the use of coincidences in our storylines. I used to tell him he was insane (my words) and that an audience loves a gobsmacking coincidence provided it's done with boldness and aplomb. That executive producer would be spinning in his crypt right now if someone had tossed in a copy of Wind in the Wires with him. Our Joy's got FOUR fat corkers of coincidence in the course of this story and I loved every damn one of them - although the final one was SUCH a shock it gave me a sleepless night. Not a spoiler shall I utter. Joy Dettman's Woody Creek saga is bloody fantastic.
review 2: I absolutely love this series, all the coincidences and all. ... more How unlikely would it happen that Cara and Morrie did not have enough of a conversation before they married not to have found out they were half siblings. Morrie and Cara's relationship is uncanny - at least she has now met her half brother but not in quite the way she had expected.This is a catch up for me as I read the next book in the series out of order.I enjoyed this story as much as the rest but I have to admit I don't quite understand Cara and her feelings, but I guess she has grown up with older parents and after finding out she was the one given away while her biological mother kept 3 others would be hard to handle. She should at least be a little happier now, having seen where her mother lived, that she had Mabel and Robert as parents instead of growing up as one of Jenny's brood. How uncanny is that Cara's nemises Dino Collins ends up at a commune in Woody Creek, the town where Cara'a biological mother is from and that he has hooked up with Raylene, Cara's bioligical mother's step daughter.It was good to catch up on Georgie's life too. She is my favourite character after Jenny. Although I did so love Gertrude too. less
