Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. From the author of the multi-award-winning bestseller Between a Wolf and a Dog, a powerful collection of previously unpublished stories.A sister is haunted by the consequences of a simple mistake. A daughter searches for certainty as her mother's memory degrades. An encounter at a house party changes the course of a life.In We All Lived in Bondi Then, beloved Australian author Georgia Blain returns to her resonant themes of relationships and family, illness and health, love and death. Composed in Blain's final years, these nine stories grapple with large questions on a human scale, brimming with her trademark acuity, nuance, and warmth.'With the gift of these nine moving and shapely stories comes the bonus of an elegant and elegiac foreword by Charlotte Wood, who knew the author well .

The collection is concerned with facing reality, with looking death in the eye. As grim as this sounds, the stories are composed with a lyrical honesty and an unforgettable strength . This is a powerful and vivid tapestry of life and love and the brutal quirks of human destiny.'-Carmel Bird, The Sydney Morning Herald' Blain returns to some of her favourite, and most resonant, themes- family and relationships, love and death, health and illness . Although the book is suffused with loss and grief, there are flashes of wry humour and hard-won insight.'-Nicole Abadee, The Sydney Morning Herald'It's an exquisite collection, moving, at times funny, and so readable.'-Mark Rubbo, Readings Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

From the author of the multi-award-winning bestseller Between a Wolf and a Dog, a powerful collection of previously unpublished stories.A sister is haunted by the consequences of a simple mistake. A daughter searches for certainty as her mother's memory degrades. An encounter at a house party changes the course of a life.In We All Lived in Bondi Then, beloved Australian author Georgia Blain returns to her resonant themes of relationships and family, illness and health, love and death. Composed in Blain's final years, these nine stories grapple with large questions on a human scale, brimming with her trademark acuity, nuance, and warmth.' We All Lived in Bondi Then never wallows in sentimentality; instead, its portraits of the ordinary toils of life are glassy-clear and smooth, making the scarce moments of optimism or humour almost euphoric . The collection offers readers a final gift of the lucid, observant, occasionally wry examination of modern life and the human condition for which Blain is celebrated.'-Anica Boulanger-Mashberg, Books+PublishingPraise for Between a Wolf and a Dog-'Blain just gets better and better. The clarity, warmth and precision of Between a Wolf and a Dog brings to mind the formal beauty of an exquisitely cut gemstone. Blain looks at the big questions - mortality, grief, forgiveness - through the lens of one family's everyday struggle to love each other. This portrait of marriage and work, of sisterhood, mothers, and daughters is resolute and clear-eyed; so commanding and beautifully written it made me cry.'-Charlotte Wood, author of The Natural Way of ThingsPraise for Museum of Words-'Museum of Words is not a memoir of dying, although it is about illness and treatment, and the impossibility of saying goodbye. It moves between its subjects, using the writer's illness reflexively, leading into description of the things most important to her . A fine book that looks chaos directly in the face and attempts to record it.'-Tegan Bennett Daylight, Sydney Morning Herald Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
