From There to Here: A memoir from the award-winning New Zealand columnist, teacher, and international bestselling author by Joe Bennett

From Willingdon to Lyttelton, a memoir about love, learning and the journey to thirty

Joe Bennett is the author of countless columns, over twenty books, and now, at long last, a memoir. From There to Here describes a childhood of fishing, cricket, friends, a dog, some mild molestation and a few deaths. There's the long-haired gloom and vehemence of adolescence. There's love and heartache, an urge to write and a fruitless struggle against teaching for a living. Superbly written, of course, and laugh-out-loud funny in places, but it's also honest, unsparing, unexpected and moving.

'Every now and then in the twilight the door of the pub would open and emit a great sough of smoke and light and adult laughter and it seemed the most wonderful place in the world, the place you wanted to be.'

Born in England, Joe Bennett has lived in New Zealand since 1987. His newspaper columns are syndicated throughout the country, he has several times been judged New Zealand Columnist of the Year and he is the author of over 20 books. He lives in Lyttelton.
