`I don't think Edna has ever admired anybody as much as she admires Marjorie Bligh.' -- Barry Humphries `[Marjorie Bligh] casts her immense creativity, originality and insight to the world, come what may.' -- Rodney Croome `Prepare to become obsessed with Marjorie. She's a human fascinator-one she made herself.' -- Kaz Cooke 'Want to know how to bake prize-winning lamingtons, make parsnip wine, cure a hangover, maintain a relationship, rear a cockatoo and weave a mat out of plastic bead bags? Marjorie is your lady, and this is your book.' * Frankie Magazine * 'Bligh is a Tasmanian institution... [HOME] is a mixture of good sense, kitsch and the gobsmacking.' * Sunday Age and Sun Herald *
