Her sense of place is superb but her focus is on people, in particular Dexter and Athena Fox, their sons and narrow circle of acquaintances. Athena makes a Bovary-like attempt to run off with Phillip, Dexter does something rash with Vicki. But somehow the family resumes its old patterns. The episodes centred on Billy, especially the dehumanising attitudes of other characters, made for intensely uncomfortable reading. But however much these performances overlap, the melodies never come together, the players are out of sync or simply clashing. Ben Winch. Author 4 books followers. The structure — free, gymnastic, skipping from surface to surface of each character like a stone over water. The symbolism, the overreach, the heightened sense of its own refinement. Ironically, the apparently rigorous editing may highlight this: the impression is of a loose transitional work corseted for professional ends; in a larger literary scene, with less focus on her, she may have felt more free to fail.

A small-scale but impressive piece of work. I Helen Fox Escort Agency on a little crusade to find small books. BorrowBox and my public library have been able to furnish a large choice. This parenting of a disabled child is hard work, Garner does not shy away from this. I am stating nothing revelatory here when I say HG is amazing, her books are course material at universities. This is what she does, tells the reader the comings and goings of the ordinary, delivered in a way that is as far away as the ordinary one could imagine.
Cecily Strong. Shelley Fabares. Interesting post. I suspect that Garner was able to think of many non-cliched ways to describe people being selfish and detached, but whatever observations on love and happiness she may have had were banal, and so in the interests of art she cut them. The arrival of the sisters and the musician partner of the eldest, forms a collision of people in Melbourne suburbia.

This is a fantastic companion read for The Spare Room - similar themes and preoccupations at a different stage of life - at times the crossovers took my breath away. My biggest stumbling block, though, is the entire book doesn't make any of the characters feel authentic because they are all cultural snobs despite being suburban housewives and guys who play in a band.

Love and attachment play a pivotal role in those structures, so Garner's artistic omissions fundamentally undermine any kind of coherent feminist critique of Athena's situation.
