Acerca del libro
This novel explores the evolution of a close-knit group of baby-boomers. We are taken back to 1990 where the port of Fremantle in Western Australia has morphed from 'shabby backwater to bohemian chic'. Eight-year-old Amity tags along each week with her parents to Drifters Cafe. Against a back-drop of change, at home and abroad, her parents and their friends discuss their lives and the world at large. Meanwhile, at an adjoining table, old Winnie tunes in to the conversations around her and reflects on her past, with all its joys and sorrows.
Fast forward 25 years. Amity is now an historian, working on a narrative about her community. Using her parents and their group as her guinea pigs, Amity re-fashions their memories, aided by the notebooks of the long-departed Winnie. Dreaming South Terrace shines a light on the hearts and minds of its cast of characters, united in their love affair with the port city and the whiff of caffeine.

Bruce Menzies
South Fremantle, Western Australia

Bruce Menzies was born in Subiaco, Western Australia. After scraping through a law degree he moved to Canberra for a stint in the Public Service, highlighted by 3 years in Germany. In the seventies, he worked as a lawyer in Fremantle and helped set up a Montessori school. Graduating to an Indian ashram, he spent 7 years in a commune before returning to Perth. In 1990 Bruce and his wife built a mud brick home in Denmark, grew bio-dynamic raspberries and ran holiday accommodation. During that period Bruce morphed from a lawyer into a mediator – and succumbed to the writing virus. In 2011, he published The Warp and the Weft, an account of his ancestors and their migration to Australia . His first novel, Absence Makes, was published in April 2013. Since then, Bruce has published two more novels - Ascending Sideways and Dreaming South Terrace, plus a number of photo-journals. In August 2019, his memoir, Whirlpool - In and Out of a Spiritual Washing Machine, was released.
