How to End a Story by Helen Garner
Helen Garner's third volume of diaries is an account of a woman fighting to hold on to a marriage that is disintegrating around her. Living with a great writer who is consumed by his work, and trying to find a place for her own spirit to thrive, she rails against the confines while desperate to find the truth in their relationship--and the truth of her own self. This is a harrowing story, a portrait of the messy, painful, dark side of love lost, of betrayal and sadness and the sheer force of a woman's anger. But it is also a story of resilience and strength, strewn with sharp insight, moments of joy and hope, the immutable ties of motherhood and the regenerative power of a room of one's own.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.
