The Garden of Emily Washburn

Autor Barry Dean
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 mar 2017
"The main rule is simple. You are to be seen only in public with the lady. You are not to try to spend time alone with her. If you agree, you will have a beautiful woman for all of the right functions and be the envy of your peers." Peter Mortimer agreed to Emily Washburn's main rule….then broke it. Now Scott Mawson, an itinerate mathematics teacher and amateur investigator has been hired to find out why Peter Mortimer, an Australian film director with the record for the shortest lifespan of any recipient of a Cannes Film festival leaf, stepped in front of a car just one hour and fifteen minutes after his brush with glory.

Notă biografică

BARRY Dean is a mid-century relic. A fossilised remnant of a young boy born in 1949 in Lithgow. From his early days as a long-haired muso with attitude, Barry worked as a techncian, construction inspector, engineer and engineering consultant before a stint as an expert witness for barristers sparked an interest in writing fiction. Inspired by the likes of Douglas Adams, Roald Dahl and Terry Pratchett, writing fiction that sits just to the left of reality appeals to Barry's quirkier tendencies. In his writing, Barry has created a world of his own making, inspired by the music of life, global travel, a love of history and old r-ins, and observation. In fact, his first novel The Garden of Emily Washburn (Hague Publishing, 2012) was inspired by watching the Cannes Film Festival and the incongruous sight of a beautiful woman on the arm of a man "with a head like a Picasso painting". Barry splits his time between the home he shares with wife Theresa on the shores of the River Tamar and indulging a love of travel. At any given time, you can find him immersed in fiction writing, photography, curating a vintage guitar collection, or jamming with other ancient musos.
