Author: Elspeth Sandys Publisher: Otago University Press
At the end of the first volume of Elspeth Sandys’ absorbing memoir, What Lies Beneath, an adult Elspeth has solved the riddle of her birth parents and begun to piece together the events of her early life and find her place in the world. Casting Off begins on the eve of Elspeth’s first marriage. She and her husband will soon depart New Zealand for England, joining a throng of Kiwis who chose to uproot themselves from their native land. New attachments will be formed: new loves – of people; of places – will take the place of the old. But the home country will continue to exercise a pull. Backgrounding the personal story in this deeply satisfying memoir is the story of the Thatcher years and the creeping virus of neo-liberalism, the sexual revolution of the sixties, the beguiling world of books – reading and writing – and theatre. Elspeth Sandys’ refreshing honesty and her skill as a writer of fiction and drama propel the reader through an absorbing life story that is equally a commentary on the meaning of memoir and the peculiarities of memory.

Trendy, cute bag at great price if you’re looking for designer inspired look at deep discount
Color: Wine Woven Leather, Color: Wine Woven Leather
I think if you are looking for a woven bag with a designer look (like the Bottega Veneta clutch this is modeled after) for a very deep discount then this bag is for you.
I don’t think I will keep this bag because personally I don’t love the overly fake looking gold hardware that I think would scratch and tarnish very easily and the stitching is not great (you can see on video.) However, if you are looking for more of “the look” and less concerned about long term quality this would be a great bag!
The color of this bag is very nice. I added pictures of it in direct sunlight and also indoors. I think it is very versatile and will match with many outfits because of the color.
It is also a great large size clutch that could definitely fit more than your standard clutch and it comes with a crossbody strap to make it more functional.
Overall for the price I think this is a great little bag that is very on trend right now!

Very good size to carry a phone
Color: Silver Woven Leather
I ended up wearing a different outfit on NYE and returned, but I really wanted to keep it. The item was delivered flawless, and good quality of the pu - silver color was intact and not peeling. Why I wanted to keep it & will purchase other colors is the size. This is the first evening dress clutch that I could fit iPhone 14 Pro Max, along with a compact, keys, lipstick and liner, and card wallet. Would have been so easy for me to carry, and sit on a table or on the car dash. Cost is reasonable considering I’m getting the burgundy and will use it more often than silver

Why spend $3400, when this is so similar?
Color: Cream Beige Woven Leather
A great little bag. Perfect for an evening out and very much has the look of the $3400 original. If you've seen the more expensive one, you can see that the closure of this one is extremely similar. As for durability, at this price if it lasts one or two seasons, that's fine with me. It also comes with a dust bag, which makes it easy to keep clean and dust free while it sits on my shelf waiting for me to use it. I love that I can use it with the crossbody strap, the top handle or carry it as a clutch.
