PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
From her little teak desk on Wurundjeri land in Melbourne, Anne Freeman writes contemporary fiction about women who are stuck in life and the extraordinary ways they shake themselves loose. They’re always engaging and sometimes funny with reluctant adventures, sexy escapades and friendships that uplift. Anne’s novels have been recognised in many literary competitions including the prestigious Romance Writers of Australia Valerie Parv Award, the Grindstone International Novel Prize and the Hawkeye Publishing Manuscript Development Prize. Her hobbies include referring to herself in third person and making her family guffaw. Oh, and wine. She likes wine. Me That You See is her second novel.
‘Pacy, racy and so much fun! Anne Freeman’s open, unreserved style is like catching up with friends. Pure escapism, with a side of humour.’ Ali Lowe, author of The Trivia Night and The Running Club; ‘A spicy delight that hooked me from the first page. Me That You See gives a peek behind the cameras. With a diverse and well-defined cast, there are powerful moments around friendship, trust, and love, with a creeping threat that will leave you shuddering. This book was satisfyingly unexpected, with plenty of surprises that shunned any predictability. I was left with a yearning to stay with the characters and see what next unfolds for them.’ Jo Dixon, award-winning author of The House of Now and Then; ‘The author’s research about this fascinating profession is expertly and seamlessly woven into the narrative. Lexi and all of the characters are well drawn, realistic and lovable; her dialogue is punchy, witty, and full of innuendo; and the suspense and tension she established kept me racing through the chapters. And those sex scenes! Quirky, original, and never a cliché.’ Camille Booker, award-winning author of What if You Fly?; ‘I absolutely loved this book! The writing is so effortless and tasteful that the progression through some pretty exotic (and at times erotic) scenarios seems entirely natural and believable. The colourful descriptions are fun and often amusing, and the characters are fantastic and easy to empathise with. There’s a really positive humanistic undercurrent running through the book as well... Highly recommended!’ David Bowley, St Kilda East, Victoria
