The Nancys review from Maeve O’Meara !

View this post on Instagram

Thank you so much @maeveomeara , I’m so glad you enjoyed it! 🤩💖 Thank you @jetlagmama 🙏😘💖Posted @withregram • @maeveomeara Like many people I’m reading and loving the experience of immersing in different worlds. A big thank you to author @rwrmcdonald for his brilliant The Nancys, set in small town New Zealand with a cast of characters you want to meet and hug. Absolutely loved this quirky thriller/ family drama written with warmth and charm. It would be a fabulous film ..esp for one of my favourite directors #taikawaititi (Hunt for the Wilderpeople, What We do in the Shadows) Thanks to my dear book curator @jetlagmama for this treasure!
