love breath. But just finished reading Cloudstreet and am depressed in knowing that I have no other book that will come close to it. Dolly Pickles was Lisa's nana and her mum is like Oriel Lamb. Invite her to the house and she'll sleep in a tent.

Cloudstreet in Mini-Series is more promising than a movie version. Condensing this brilliance to 2 hours would have been carnage - but mini-series? Can't help but be excited!! Interesting to see characterizations!
