The Children's Bach by Helen Garner
Athena and Dexter live a happy but insular life, bound by routine and the care of their young sons. When Elizabeth, an old friend from Dexter's university days, turns up with her much younger sister, Vicki, and her lover, Philip, she brings an enticing world to their doorstep. And Athena finds herself straining at the confines of her life.Helen Garner portrays her characters with a clear eye for their dreams, their insecurities and their deep humanity in this intimate and engaging short novel, which was first published in 1984. The Children's Bach is 'a jewel', in Ben Lerner's description, 'beautiful, lapidary, rare'.
Helen Garner was born in 1942 in Geelong, Australia. Monkey Grip, The First Stone, and Joe Cinque's Consolation are among her award-winning novels, tales, screenplays, and nonfiction works. Her first work of fiction in fifteen years is The Spare Room. She is an Australian citizen.
