Flying Free on Rainbow Wings - What's it about?
BLURB FOR RAINBOW WINGS
When his beloved Mum tells him “Your life isn’t a dress rehearsal,” Steve decides it’s past time for him to emerge from the closet. He summons his chutzpah and packs his bags , burning a few bridges on the way, not least his career as a school principal .
With his mother’s words ringing in his ears, he spreads his rainbow wings and soars high in search of the creative life he’s longed for.
Touching down on the Island of the Gods, Bali, Steve plunges into a thrilling – sometimes hilarious – ride, filled with equal helpings of joy and delight, heartbreak and disappointment. He learns a new language and discovers a sensuous culture where beauty and smiles are in endless supply.
At last able to wield his paintbrush, he teams up with the (in)famous American artist Symon, who, between ci******es and Scotch, grudgingly helps Steve’s talent flourish.
But this new life comes at a cost and when Steve discovers his funds are perilously low he’s forced to call on all his skills to survive. Fortunately, his team of loyal Balinese offer the support he needs to bring his myriad money-making schemes to fruition.
Best of all, he finds love and his Happy-Ever-After.
Steve’s memoir is an incense-scented journey through the Bali of twenty-five years ago; a fascinating, heart-warming glimpse into a fast-disappearing world.

Am reading, "The Revenge Club". Kathy Lette's style is flippant and filled with humour, but the theme is very serious - Invisibility and discrimination against aging women.

Don't you hate it when the author gets their own details wrong. In the book I'm reading, the restaurant was on the top floor of the guesthouse for the first half of the book. Now it's on the bottom floor. Inconsistencies!.

I used to paint and made no money. Now I write and make no money. Just proves - You don't need lots of money to be happy.

Looks interesting. Another art fiction based on facts.

Have started reading The Sitter by Angela O'Keeffe. I'm already committed and intrigued. Here's the blurb - Paris, 2020. A writer is confined to her hotel room during the early days of the pandemic, struggling to finish a novel about Hortense Cezanne, wife and sometime muse of the famous painter. Dead for more than a century, Hortense has been reawakened by this creative endeavour, and now shadows the writer through the locked-down city. But Hortense, always subject to the gaze of others, is increasingly intrigued by the woman before her. Who is she and what event hides in her past? Heartbreaking and perfectly formed, The Sitter explores the tension between artist and subject, and between the stories told about us and the stories we choose to tell.
