A review by essjay1
Grand Days by Frank Moorhouse

4.0

Edith Campbell Berry is a fascinating character. I really enjoyed this deep dive into that particular chapter of history when the League of Nations was set up, and I loved ECB. Ambitious, pragmatic, adventurous, inquisitive, flawed … she’s all this and more. I am amazed this has not yet made it to film. Moorehouse is such a keen observer of humans and humanity. Surprised to hear that this novel was not considered for the Mike’s Franklin because they considered it not to have enough Australian content. Crazy.
