O tej zvočni knjigi

Eleven-year-old Novi just wants to blend in -- not easy when you′re named after a silkworm and have the most eccentric family in town. A descendent of the first Italian silk growers in northern New South Wales, he is an obsessive artist with a habit of drawing the stories of the people around him, and a secret conviction that the river murdered his grandfather. Young teacher Dom Best is new in town and must overcome his lack of confidence to support Novi′s talent. Together with Camille, the enigmatic school librarian, Dom encourages the boy to release his inhibitions and unravel his unusual family history through his art-- though little can he imagine the consequences this will bring. Watercolours is a poignant debut novel with a mystery at its heart, an unexpected love story and a surprising twist. Most of all, it celebrates the clarity and colour a child′s-eye view brings to the adult world.

O avtorju

Adrienne was born in Sydney in 1975 and grew up in Sandy Beach on the mid north coast. Surrounded by bush and hills of banana plantations, this unique rural landscape was imprinted on her from a young age. Some of her earliest preoccupations were with an old python living in the roof of her house, picking mulberries in the backyard, studying the habits of flying foxes and trying to overcome her fear of spiders and stick insects. She has a B.A. from the University of Sydney and has written short stories and poetry. Watercolours is her first novel.
