Acerca del libro
Fast forward 25 years. Amity is now an historian, working on a narrative about her community. Using her parents and their group as her guinea pigs, Amity re-fashions their memories, aided by the notebooks of the long-departed Winnie. Dreaming South Terrace shines a light on the hearts and minds of its cast of characters, united in their love affair with the port city and the whiff of caffeine.

Acerca del creador
Bruce Menzies was born in Subiaco, Western Australia. After scraping through a law degree he moved to Canberra for a stint in the Public Service, highlighted by 3 years in Germany. In the seventies, he worked as a lawyer in Fremantle and helped set up a Montessori school. Graduating to an Indian ashram, he spent 7 years in a commune before returning to Perth. In 1990 Bruce and his wife built a mud brick home in Denmark, grew bio-dynamic raspberries and ran holiday accommodation. During that period Bruce morphed from a lawyer into a mediator – and succumbed to the writing virus. In 2011, he published The Warp and the Weft, an account of his ancestors and their migration to Australia . His first novel, Absence Makes, was published in April 2013. Since then, Bruce has published two more novels - Ascending Sideways and Dreaming South Terrace, plus a number of photo-journals. In August 2019, his memoir, Whirlpool - In and Out of a Spiritual Washing Machine, was released.
