Hazel: My Mother’s Story by Sue Pieters-Hawke, Macmillan Australia, $49.99
This book is hard to put down even though we all know the story of Hazel Hawke.
Her daughter painstakingly tells the story of Hazel’s humble origins, the highs of her life in the Lodge and the traumatic breakdown of her marriage.
The reader gets the sense that Sue Pieters-Hawke does not want to blame her father but she still leaves a strong impression of a man with many failings as a husband and a father.
In contrast Hazel is a saint with a wealth of admirable characteristics. This is as easy to read as it is compelling.
