When I explored plot lines and characters for this book I kept going back to one of the most iconic of all road trips – that of Dorothy and her friends on the yellow brick road. And I realized that our stories shared many themes – hidden inner strengths, the power of friends and finding our true selves as we make our way home. I hope readers will have fun finding the Oz parallels that are scattered amongst this read. I should stress that My Pear-Shaped Life is not a fantasy read. It has its two feet firmly in the world that we all live in – one with many shades of grey, multi-technicolour and everything else in between. We need rain and sunshine to get those gorgeous rainbows, right?
And don’t worry if you are not a fan of Oz. If you’ve never read the book or watched the movie, it won’t impair your enjoyment one jot. But I think Oz lovers will enjoy the parallels and the imagery, from the obvious to the more subtle. I look forward to book club chats with readers where we can tease these out in person!
As with all my books, despite my many months researching the issues in this novel, I’m sure that there are some errors. All mine! Please forgive me for any that jar.
And so lovely reader, it’s time for me to say goodbye and let you meet Greta and her friends. Some of you have been with me from the beginning, other readers I’ve picked up along the way. But all of you are in my heart. Every time you get in touch, reviewing a read on Amazon or Goodreads, find me on social media or via my website for a chat, come to see me in person at an author event, you give me a gift. You really do. I hope you enjoy My Pear-Shaped Life and take it into your hearts.
Happy reading,
Carmel
I am convinced that the only people worthy of consideration in this world are the unusual ones. For the common folks are like the leaves of a tree, and live and die unnoticed.
