I started 2018 reading a couple of hard cover collections of Garner‘s work and so it‘s fitting that I finish it with this hard cover edition of an early novel. I have major #fangirl for Garner and an intention to read all her work.

This novel set in Melbourne in 1984 (I lived there and was 13 at the time) is about a relatively conventional family and what happens when an old friend reconnects with the husband. #ozfiction ⬇️

It was a beautifully written; an odd assortment of characters. The novel seemed to skim over the surface of the story. Sparse, but I enjoyed it all the same. 5y

emilyhaldi I just bought a book of her short stories last week. Excited to read! 💙 5y

MrsMalaprop @emilyhaldi Hope you enjoy them 😊. 5y

Centique I have just got to the point where I can leave the oldest one in charge and go for a walk and isn‘t it BLISS?!! 😁😁🙌 5y

I've been away from home so I've only just collected my #shortstoryswap package. Thank you so much @LapReader for the lovely things you sent. I'm particularly keen to read the tagged book, I've read other Helen Garner bot not that one. Hope you are enjoying France.

so-so

It‘s Helen Garner so of course I loved the writing but there were too many weird characters. Has anyone read this? I‘d love to hear your opinion.

AWahle Haven't read the book, but that tub is magnificent! 6y

LapReader It‘s at my mum and dad‘s farm @AWahle Mum found it at the dump and had it done up. The paint job is fantastic. It‘s hard to see in the pic but it is two different tones. 6y
