February’s Books
Summarising in 25 words what was most noteworthy to me from the books I finished this month.
Australia’s China Odyssey: From Euphoria to Fear – James Curran
This is an engaging, well-written account of Australian policy and attitudes to China in the 20th and 21st centuries, a topic I knew little about.
Horse – Geraldine Brooks
Thoroughly enjoyable. With multiple storylines, my favourite was the bond between Lexington and Jarret. I did feel the Jess and Theo arc was the weakest.

Australia’s policies towards China seems like a really niche topic! I love it that there are books that cover such specific content!

The China-Australia relationship is a big thing here at the moment.

You do read some interesting books! I’ve never heard of either of these (although I doubt i would come across a book about Australia’s relationship to China. I don’t even understand my own country’s relationship to China.)

Yes, I love to read across a wide range of topics … I find many things fascinating and like to dig in a bit.
