This House of Grief by Helen Garner
The engrossing true-crime classic that follows a man and his broken life, a community wracked by tragedy, and the long and torturous road to closure
Whichever form she's inhabiting, Garner is great company: perceptive, unsparing of others yet also self-questioningHer books contain details that radiate long after you finish reading them. -- Max Liu * FINANCIAL TIMES *
Garner's writing is taut, compelling and unsentimental, but incredibly moving all the same. I would recommend anything by her, fiction or non fiction. -- Harriet Tyce * DAILY MAIL *
A true-crime classic and literary masterpiece, which examines just what we are capable of and how fiercely we hide it from ourselves. * Anne Enright *
