Simultaneously gentle and powerful, the stories compel you to slow down and ruminate on important themes: family and love, care and sacrifice, connection and loss
This posthumous collection of short stories from respected Australian author Georgia Blain has some of her best work. Simultaneously gentle and powerful, the stories compel you to slow down and ruminate on important themes: family and love, care and sacrifice, connection and loss. They are written beautifully in a reflective, melancholic tone, with pops of bright happiness and sweetness littered throughout, and moments that are guaranteed to stick with you.
From a sister haunted by the consequences of a simple mistake, a daughter searching for certainty as her mother’s memory degrades, an encounter at a house party that changes the course of a life, Blain’s stories are always wise and forgiving.
