Exhibit number one is <em>The Chronicles of Narmo<\/em>, which she began writing at age 13, and published 2 years and many jam sandwiches later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">A thinly-disguised description of her own home life, it chronicles a year in the life of the Narmo family and records such momentous events as Christmas, Easter, a campervan holiday in Scotland and a trip to the local flea market. With five children, two dogs and well-meaning but decidedly ineffectual parents, the Narmos make Adrian Mole\u2019s family look high-functioning by comparison, and their misadventures are described with such dry and affectionate humour that you can\u2019t help but love them as much as Moran does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><em>Chronicles<\/em> will only take a couple of hours to read but will leave you smiling for days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caitlan Moran<br \/>\n<br \/>\nOtago Daily Times review 2014<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[193,219,370,18,470],"class_list":["post-791","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-reviews","tag-193","tag-caitlan-moran","tag-fiction","tag-odt","tag-ya"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cushla.spooky-possum.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/791","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cushla.spooky-possum.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cushla.spooky-possum.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cushla.spooky-possum.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cushla.spooky-possum.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=791"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/cushla.spooky-possum.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/791\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1992,"href":"https:\/\/cushla.spooky-possum.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/791\/revisions\/1992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cushla.spooky-possum.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=791"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cushla.spooky-possum.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=791"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cushla.spooky-possum.org\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=791"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
