Secrets in one’s life that are at one-time held perilously loosely (despite the belief that the eternal silencing of the secrets are an iron-clad guarantee) have a habitual way of unerringly flowing, ultimately unobstructed, out into the open. Additionally, the seemingly sturdy, […]
To reside in a town on the wild and treacherous, yet undeniably idyllic and enticing, English coast is the stuff of ambitious dreams for many in the United Kingdom (and indeed abroad). Such a (fictional) town, Ebbing (population 10 000), sits primly […]
Even in seemingly fiercely democratic and justice-driven societies and countries like Australia, America and the United Kingdom, the once sturdy balusters in the legal system of justice, responsibility and respectability are at-times flagrantly flimsy, jaded and misleading. Such a timely notion is […]
Distressingly and alarmingly, some 35 000 people ‘go missing’ in Australia every year, as reported by the Australian Federal Police. Although the vast majority of these folk are located within a six month time frame, approximately 1600 of these much-loved humans form […]
Sometimes the most glossy, envied and seemingly exemplary lives are merely a smooth and expertly positioned veneer that purposefully camouflages lives full of secrets, shame and the inevitable accompanying guilt. Such picture-perfect, yet inwardly tumultuous, lives are brilliantly, albeit poignantly, examined and […]
Life is seldom straightforward and uncomplicated by troubles. Most certainly, sometimes a cataclysmic event can cause a seismic shift in the ongoing trajectory of one’s life. Such truths are most definitively the case for Eden Hall and Rafe McConnell, the female and […]
The English word “Reputation” is defined definitively and far-reachingly as “the beliefs or opinions that are generally held about someone or something”. Certainly in all nations and societies in the world, one’s reputation is highly prized, albeit having the potential to be […]
The highly salubrious, deeply life-affirming and quintessentially Australian (and American) pastime of swimming laps at the local public pool is a soothing ritual that many – the novice, the triathlete and former Olympians – partake in. It is such a utopic environment, […]
A plethora of audaciously murky crimes that are committed daily in our society are – on the surface – disarmingly straight-forward and with need of little assistance from the public. Sometimes, however, circumstances arise in which no-one is seemingly at fault, but […]
Masterful. Suspenseful. Eloquent. Thought-provoking. These are four well-deserved adjectives that immediately come to mind when wanting to describe the soaring and scholarly debut novel, “The Herd” from English author, Emily Edwards. Set in the fictional English town, Farley, outside of London, “The […]
Sometimes a holiday is so sublimely, uniquely and searingly transformative, restorative and uplifting that one’s life is unequivocally and forever richer for it; in the days, months and even years after the well-deserved time of much-needed repose and adventure has taken place. […]
Navigating the oft-times treacherous, shocking and unforeseen potholes of life is frequently difficult – even more so when one is young, female, of mixed-race and living in the vibrant, yet at-times-daunting metropolis of present-day London. Such is most certainly the case for […]
The sublimely picture-perfect township of Darley on Sydney’s exclusively elegant Northern Beaches appears, from the outside, to be a utopian haven for the wealthy and well-to-do…..or is it? As English author, Ali Lowe (she has lived in Australia for sixteen years), describes […]
“Oppressed people cannot remain oppressed forever. The yearning for freedom eventually manifests itself.” These words were eloquently and sombrely spoken by Martin Luther King last century, and are nobly and life-affirmingly applicable to people around the world, both before and since they […]
Leaving behind a murky and febrile past, perhaps by even relocating to a new country, should be a relatively straightforward and even somewhat calculatedly cold and clinical procedure – or should it? Such a vehemently audacious manoeuvre is firmly embedded at the […]
Australian universities, and their accompanying residential colleges, are, in theory at least, fortified and luminous bastions of respectability and accountability. This noble notion, however, is searingly and brutally displaced in Sydney writer Diana Reid’s reflective and disarming debut novel, “Love and Virtue”. […]
America, like Australia, is endowed with a plethora of great migrant success stories. Nowhere in America is there a veritable melting pot of nationalities and cultures more abundant than the perpetually buzzing metropolis of Los Angeles, in the state of California. It […]
