from Macquarie University in Australia. As part of
her coursework she authored "Three Wishes"
which became her first novel. The book was published
in Australia and afterwards was released in Spain,
Italy, Britain and the United States (in 2004). I read
this book a year ago and was entertained by the story of
3 sisters, all triplets, who have a public fight during
their 34th birthday celebration in a public restaurant;
the book relates their tumultuous relationships, family history, rivalry, break ups and make ups.
After the publication of her first book, her
marriage ended. Another relationship followed
and ended when she discovered her boyfriend was
not interested in having children. Her second book,
"The Last Anniversary," soon followed, inspired in part by
this relationship and the subtle truths it unearthed for the author. I recently began
reading "The Last Anniversary" but gradually lost interest, I didn't fall in love with some
of the main characters, they annoyed me; whereas, Moriarty's book "Three Wishes" consumed an entire weekend I so enjoyed the characters and plot-line.
Moriarty next turns to children's fiction before re-entering the adult fiction market...
