This collected short fiction celebrates one of Australia’s most loved authors.
This audiobook brings Helen Garner’s short fiction together into one volume.
Her most loved stories are here: Postcards from Surfers, My Hard Heart and A Happy Story.
Garner’s focus is on love and longing, on the pain, darkness and joy of life, on the unexpected events, no matter how small, that transform us.
Her mastery of the story is revealed in the sharpness of her observation, her honesty and humour, her ear for speech and the rhythm of her prose.
'Her prose is wiry, stark, precise, but to find her equal for the tone of generous humanity one has to call up writers like Isaac Babel and Anton Chekhov.'
The Wall Street Journal
