Another lovely spring day here and it‘s a holiday for the Kings Birthday. Another exquisite story from this author who was born and raised in West Australia but now lives on the east coast.
It‘s 1992 and Helen is at Cambridge doing a doctorate on Joseph Conrad. His story is Intertwined with hers.
I learnt a lot about Joseph Conrad in a most interesting way. If you liked her other books I think you will enjoy this.

MrsMalaprop Haven‘t read this one. Love her ❤️ 2mo

This is a very serious book, which would usually put me off, but I read it in one sitting & I‘m going to be thinking about it for a while. The narrative switches between the experiences of Helen, an Australian at Cambridge in 1992 doing PhD on Joseph Conrad, & episodes from Conrad‘s life & work. I think it is, in part, a meditation on dislocation & associated undercurrents of violence. I think it will be on a few prize lists. #ozfiction

CarolynM @MrsMalaprop I‘ve still not got around to Noah Glass, but after this one I think I‘ll make it a priority. Have you read this one yet? 8mo
MrsMalaprop @CarolynM I‘ve seen this one around, but haven‘t gotten to it yet. I love her work and think she is underrated. Hope you feel similarly about Noah Glass. 8mo
