Book details

Book description

A darkly comic novel of disintegration, betrayal and revenge. 'Great flocks of emerald budgies are flying through my brain . . .' Ruth is in a state. The kind of state where you might put a hedgehog under the wheel before reversing, or pull on rubber underwear before running drugs to a colleague. Things aren't going to get any better till the memory she's been avoiding floods back into her mind - and after that, they'll get a lot worse. Karyn Hay has been connected with music and broadcasting for many years, hosting 'Radio with Pictures' in the 1980s, hosting the late night music show 'Coca-Cola TVFM', directing and producing 'Music Nation' and music videos in the 1990s and in the 2000s co-hosting a Channel Z radio show, working as general manager of Channel Z and currently a regular night-time host on Radio Live. Emerald Budgies won the Hubert Church Best First Book Award in the Montana Book Awards.
