ADDISON, SUSAN; ADDISON, REX (ILLUSTRATIONS). Mother Lode: Stories of Home Life and Home Death.
Brisbane: St Lucia UQP: University of Queensland Press, 2001. 1st ed. Hardback small square, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), black & white linocuts, edges slight rubbed. 314 pp. The author has written a very special book of stories of life and death. In writing of Charlie and his grandparents, Susan draws on the rich mother lode of our common human experience of love, loss and grief. Her inspiring stories help to view death as an acceptable part of living, where memories and pain are shared, and laughter is never far away. The beautiful illustrations show the consolation the family drew from everyday rituals in the subtropical homes Rex designed for them. Like the stories, they show resilience in adversity. ISBN: 0702231916.
