Paperback. Filled with larger-than-life strong, wilful and unconventional women, The Ballad of Siddy Church tells of the lasting effect this larrikin mob has on the life of Eadie Wilt. At the centre of the mayhem is Siddy Church. "My grandmother was a difficult woman, you could not get around it. She was born on three different occasions in three different locations and she said her name was Siddy Church. Late at night she would sit like a giant curious toad, her heavy-lidded eyes turning with her head, her pupils like magic bullets about the room. Her past was too big and diverse for her to govern, people talked about her shady past. She had relinquished her right to her own story." These are USED books.

Pictorial Wraps. Condition: Fine. First Edition. SIGNED in full & briefly INSCRIBED by the Australian author in blue ink on title page: "To the poets, Lin Van Hek". Contains 13 pieces, which The Age calls "a lively noisy engaging piece of writing". From the rear cover: "Lin Van Hek is a writer who trusts and follows her instincts. At the heart of her work is a desire to expose the fragility and chaos that skitters just beneath the surface of our seemingly ordered lives. Her tales can veer from the mundane to the sacred, and from the prosaic to the magical in one sentence. Once the genie is let loose, all hell can break out, and a bit of heaven too." - Arnold Zable (Jewels and Ashes).
