As a sequel to Strand One, The Way Things Were, this gentle Memoir continues
to string together anecdotes in which non-humans have most of the spotlight and
the humans, including the writer, usually play the bit parts or provide backdrops
for the action. Strand Two, however, focuses on the life story of an exceptional
Scotch Collie, named Sheba, enmeshing it with the Time Line of the life of her
beloved companion, the writer. As they both cope with the challenges that Life
deals them, a broad, colourful canvas of different places and natural environmental
wonders takes shape. Other humans and non-humans and unexpected happenings offer
glimpses of social history and mores from an earlier Australian society. This
non-fictional truly Australian story is suitable for all ages — and genders.
You are invited to relax and enjoy it at your leisure.
