The Spare Room by Helen Garner
Helen lovingly prepares her spare room for her friend Nicola. She is coming to visit for three weeks, to receive treatment she believes will cure her cancer. From the moment Nicola staggers off the plane, gaunt and hoarse but still somehow grand, Helen becomes her nurse, her guardian angel and her stony judge. The two women - one sceptical, one stubbornly serene - negotiate an unmapped path through Nicola's bizarre therapy, stumbling towards the novel's terrible and transcendent finale.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.
