Seven women and three men leave the city to avoid a pandemic. They isolate together in a local farm, where they pass the time working, flirting, eating, drinking, making music and above all telling stories. It happened in Florence in 1351, during the Plague, and gave us Boccaccio's Decameron.
Seven hundred years later, in Australia, it happens again. The stories are very different, but they're still bawdy, satirical, funny and sometimes sad, and they celebrate human cleverness, love, courage and imagination.
I highly recommend this book! I couldn't put it down. A very enjoyable read.
I love the characters in this book, I felt like I was invested in their lives.
I missed them very much and quickly ordered the next book when I'd finished it.
This is a really easy to learn and fun game suitable for all ages. I love playing it with my 10 year old as it is quick yet not too fast paced. It feels like much more civilised game than many other contemporary games.
Beautiful book of Poems Uncle Wes Marne was a very remarkable man selflessly sharing his Aboriginal culture
Lots of info about consumption of clothing and new innovations to cut down on waste.
