A Dunedin Chronicler. E-book. Formato EPUB Brigitte Roxane - Bod - Books On Demand, 2026 -
Early 1975. Maddalena Strozzi has just started her first job as reporter for the Dunedin Chronicle. The chief reporter, in between gawping at her cleavage, sends her off to report on garden shed fires and the local tennis club matchdays. Thanks to some luck, her staunchly supportive friends and fellow journalists, Maddi slowly gets a few more interesting tasks such as visiting a "sun club", interviewing touring politicians and the director of the hit musical Hair.Behind the glitz though, lurks the underbelly of the Seventies, where abortion is illegal, screaming young girls considered fair game, and Maddi is automatically selected to cover for the daily Women's Page editor. At least it diverts her mind from her reluctant boyfriend and her self-obsessed mother.A time-capsule to make you smile, laugh and cry.
My Aunt Dorothy. E-book. Formato EPUB Brigitte Roxane - Bod - Books On Demand, 2026 -
Deborah is thirteen, entering secondary school in the big city, boarding with an aunt she hardly knows who wears two-piece suits and brogues. It's the middle of the seventies and even in far flung New Zealand, sex and porn have arrived. In Deborah's classroom, on the stage of Hair, in films, on the telly. The schoolgirls are curious and uninformed. Ask Aunt Dorothy for guidance? A ridiculous idea. Yet it seems her aunt is more knowledgeable than Deborah had realised.A tale of women, often light-hearted, trying to navigate this new era. A time-capsule just before the digital revolution, when censorship stood in the spotlight and triggered a kaleidoscope of feelings and opinions.
