Beschreibung

Seeking asylum from the wreckage of her life, Yvette Grimm arrives in Australia and overstays her holiday visa.
 
Desperate to carve a life for herself as an illegal British migrant, she invests her hopes in a palm-reader’s prophecy: she is to meet the father of her children before she’s thirty. But Yvette is already twenty-nine, and the quest takes her on a picaresque journey of self-discovery and transformation.
 
Set in Perth against the backdrop of Australia’s migrant history present and past, Nine Months of Summer is a moving, relevant and at times comical story of personal growth, purpose and coming of age.

    You Super Glue a quarter to your forehead betting a friend it won’t stick . . .”Duh!” 
    Your boss asks you to leave "early" to run an errand and then to stay late . . . “Duh!” 
    Your mother-in-law comes to visit after you buy her a “one-way” ticket . . . double “Duh!" 
    Need more examples? Okay, you asked for it. 
    You report a local family disturbance to the police and the officer comes to your door . . . ”Duh!” 
    Your blonde girlfriend hears accidents happen close to home, so she moves . . . ”Duh!” 
    You think becoming a vegetarian means you can’t eat Animal Crackers . . . ”Duh!” 
    Stand up. Take a bow. You are not alone. Now one laugh-filled volume brings them all together…the whole “Duhs!” and nothing but the “Duhs!” . . . THE BOOK OF DUH! This fun-filled treasury features the funniest, most outrageous “Duhs!” of all. Of course, who are we tell you that. You have lived these (and probably more). If not, join the club. It is okay to be “Duh!”

    Aileen Weintraub has been running away from commitment her entire life, hopping from one job and one relationship to the next.

    As her husband's farmhouse begins to collapse and her marriage starts to do the same, Weintraub finally confronts her grief for her father while fighting for the survival of her unborn baby. Will she stay or will she once again run away from it all?
