Lucy Bloom (born Lucy Schaffler; [1] 26 November 1973) is the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Sunrise Cambodia and the former CEO of Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia. She is now a full time speaker and author. [2] Personal life [ edit ] The author blurb that has accompanied my latest book reads, “While some find Lucy’s memoir hard to believe, The Manuscript is her first work of fiction.” Ha! I wrote that myself. I’ve published three books in three genres – a childbirth guide for men, my memoir and now a novel. All three are based on truth. All three with varying ratios of fact to fiction. Meanwhile, the succession of deaths of several supporting characters who she perceives have wronged her occur outside Edith's consciousness and are curiously interlinked with each other. I was left wanting more explanation for what was going on, what the underlying meaning was, but none was ever forthcoming. I won't delve into further character analysis as I'm not a fan of spoilers, so I'll leave you with this. Lucy is passionate about creating change in this world. Her first work of fiction eloquently aligns with her own real life for-purpose passions. To label Lucy as sexist, sizeist, racist or ageist radically overlooks the work that she does in real life, as well as the broader messaging and intricate detail within the Manuscript.

I glanced down while Ice Cream Man looked at the moving images on his mega TV, and I saw with complete horror that my feet were shedding their skin, right there in his living room, like flipping twin cicadas shedding their shells. Simply said, I can’t make up the mad stuff that happens to me, so I put some of it in a book and from that foundation of truth, I wrote a killer novel. You, dear reader, will never know what the truth is and what is pure fiction from my kooky brain. Neither will my mum.

Me: Do you think it is fair for you to determine the accuracy of my opinion? I am a reviewer, I share my opinion about books. I am not obliged to love every single book I read, which I am sure also happens to you. It is a shame that you got fixated in those comments but did not appreciate the compliments I gave you and your writing. Reading and appreciating art is subjective, we all interpret things in very different ways. There is no accuracy in appreciating novels. Me: Hi Lucy, do you mean my opinion of your book is invalid because I interpreted your work in the wrong way?
