Produktinformationen zu „The Wedding At Bueno-Vista (ePub)“
Wry and poignant, this quirky novel is about resilience and defiance in the face of loss.
"Dear Invisible Elaine, I know you are out there somewhere, but it would be really wonderful if I could find you."
The Wedding at Bueno-Vista takes us into the world of Elaine Frobisher, a woman who makes herself invisible to those who wish her well, but too visible and vulnerable to those who wish her ill, such predators as the lecherous Adrian Bunce or the burglars who watch her house then steal her possessions and sense of security. Recently widowed and feeling terrorised, she flees to an anonymous apartment block and, for protection, sets about inventing a marriage with an imaginary husband.

Autoren-Porträt von Shonagh Koea
Shonagh Koea's notable writing career met with early success in a Woman's Weekly writing contest, in which (aged eight) she won two guineas. She went on to become a journalist and to win the Air New Zealand Short Story Award (1981), and more recently to write a number of short-story collections as well as many novels and a memoir (2007). North & South commented that 'Shonagh Koea has a command of prose, an originality of expression, a sophisticated wit and a richness of imagery, which makes her writing a delight.' Of the novels, Sing to Me, Dreamer was a finalist in the New Zealand Book Awards (1995) and The Lonely Margins of the Sea was runner-up for the Deutz Medal for Fiction (1999). She has also held the University of Auckland Fellowship in Literature (1993) and the Buddle Findlay Sargeson Fellowship (1997). 'Shonagh Koea is as addictive as nicotine or coffee - with, perhaps, major withdrawal symptoms' - Nelson Evening Mail
