Bite Your Tongue
Mrs Angel Rendle-Short said that a book given to her daughter, Francesca, as an English textbook at school would teach her to be a permissive rebel. (Courier Mail, 1975) There are some things you should never speak about. In Francesca Rendle-Short's family, silence was golden. So to break ranks and tell stories about her peculiar family life and her mother's moral crusading should send this daughter straight to hell in a ball of smoke and flame along with all those books her mother wanted to burn. Some stories are hard to tell. But like reading, writing stories changes everything.

- "Bite Your Tongue is the story of a teenage girl growing up in Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen's 1970's conservative Queensland, the daughter of a morals crusader. It is also the story of the daughter as an adult and a writer. Threads are woven together in a mix of novel and memoir."
- "Set in 1970s Queensland and also contemporary times, Bite Your Tongue is an elegant mix of novel and memoir that is in turn harrowing and delightful. Can a daughter forgive her mother for making her a pawn in her conservative moral crusades? Can greater understanding reinstate love? What does a mother owe a daughter and a daughter a mother?"
