<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Mrs Eileen Rickaby, a semi-retired botanical illustrator and Orchid Society member with a penchant for Mozart, lives a quiet ordered life with Missy, her cat. Her tranquillity is disturbed when close friend and neighbour Irene brings home a twice-widowed younger man of dubious character, and introduces him as her future husband. Petty theft, vandalism and violence disrupt the peaceful retirement village. How can Mrs Rickaby protect her friend from this con-man lover? <em>Mrs Rickaby's Lullaby</em> is an engaging novel of haunting lyricism and gentle humour, exploring the timeless themes of love, loss and widowhood, friendship and belonging.</p><p>Julie Thorndyke's two collections of tanka poetry, <em>Rick Rack</em> and <em>Carving Granite</em>, were published by Ginninderra Press. Editor of <em>Eucalypt: a tanka journal</em> since 2017, she also writes fiction and other poetry forms. <em>Waiting for the Night</em>, Julie's picture book for children, was published by Interactive Press. <em>Mrs Rickaby's Lullaby</em> is her first novel.</p>
