Publisher Description
'...this is a mighty fun read' - Jessie Tu
Freycinet Barnes has built herself the perfect existence. With beautiful children, a successful husband and a well-ordered schedule, it’s a life so full she simply doesn’t fit.
When she steps outside her calendar and is accidentally thrown into the generous bosom of the West Moonah Women’s Choir, she finds music, laughter, friendship and a humming wellspring of rage. With the ready acceptance of the colourful choristers, Frey learns that voices can move mountains, fury can be kind and life can do with a bit of ruining.
Together, Frey and the choir sing their anger, they breathe it in and stitch it up, belt it out and spin it into a fierce, driving beat that will kick the system square in the balls, and possibly demolish them all.
'If you have forgotten why you're angry, if you've forgotten that you are angry, this laugh-out-loud, sob-out-loud, sing-out-loud book will remind you.' Minnie Darke

Customer Reviews
A beautiful story!
Thanks for giving voice to women’s issues and creating such a triumphant story.
Sublime
I loved this book. It is beautifully written and has moments of such poignancy. The characters are memorable and I was sorry to reach the end. I laughed, I cried, I raged and most of all I wished I could just join the choir.
Loved this so much, I’m going to buy it in hard copy too.
Sing loudly, and put your heart into it!
As a member of two choirs, the title got me into this book. Every page had something to warm my heart. A wonderful story, beautifully told. Lessons from La Lista will be cherished forever!
