Crossing that bridge when she came to itRobyn Edie A Stitch in Time - a new novel by Invercargill author Lynley DearIt became a massive fascination. The Sydney Harbour Bridge exerted an almost magnetic attraction on Southland novelist Lynley Dear's attention when she gazed out from the harbour apartment where she'd visit her son Nicholas and daughter-in-law Brie. Writing that book she had no particular intention of later transporting any of her characters to Sydney or anywhere else. But to her own surprise she found herself writing a "Sydney here we come" conclusion to Hollywood. The new book's cover shows the under-construction bridge through a window, with a battered sewing machine in the foreground.
