Breath
Author: Winton Tim
More than once since then I've wondered whether the life-threatening high jinks that Loonie and I and Sando and Eva got up to in the years of my adolescence were anything more than a rebellion against the monotony of drawing breath.
Breath is a story about the wildness of youth - the lust for excitement and terror, the determination to be extraordinary, the wounds that heal and those that don't - and about learning to live with its passing.
In his first novel for seven years, Tim Winton has achieved a new level of mastery. Breath confirms him as one of the world's finest storytellers, a writer of novels that are at the same time simple and profound, relentlessly gripping and deeply moving. The Spare Room
Hardcover | ISBN: 9781921351396 | RRP: $29.95 | 208pp
About this book
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 Spare Room tells a story of compassion, humour and rage. 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.
Praise for The Spare Room
‘A perfect novel, imbued with all Garner's usual clear-eyed grace but with some other magnificent dimension that hides between the lines of her simple conversational voice. How is it that she can enter this heart-breaking territory—the dying friend who comes to stay—and make it not only bearable, but glorious, and funny? There is no answer except: Helen Ga Herald Sun journalist Scott Gullan spent 2007 covering the Cats. He takes you inside Geelong's march to a record-breaking Grand Final triumph, including:
# The story behind the infamous Review. Produced by club CEO Brian Cook after the appalling 2006 season, this was the blueprint not only for a premiership, but that reshaped the fortunes of every player and coach at the football club. Only one copy of his document exists, and it's in the GFC safe ... all notes and other copies were burnt.
# The painfully honest player meetings in which the truth came out: that the Cats of 06 had to change dramatically to turn the club around. Who said what, and to who ...
# The Steve Johnson saga. From bad boy to Norm Smith medallist, the compelling detail of the football story of the year.
# Grand Final week. Behind the scenes in the most memorable week of a football club.
The story is told over 264 pages and features never before seen photos from inside the rooms on grand final day. People of the Book crosses continents and centuries to bring stories of hope amidst darkness, compassion amidst cruelty, all bound together by the discoveries made by a young Australian woman restoring an ancient Hebrew book.
When Hanna Heath gets a call in the middle of the night in her Sydney home about a precious medieval manuscript that has been recovered from the smouldering ruins of war–torn Sarajevo, she knows she is on the brink of the experience of a lifetime. A renowned book conservator, she must now make her way to Bosnia to start work on restoring the Sarajevo Haggadah – a Jewish prayer book – to discover its secrets and piece together the story of its miraculous survival. But the trip will also set in motion a series of events that threaten to rock Hanna‘s orderly life, including her encounter with Ozren Karamen, the young librarian who risked his life to save the book.
As meticulously researched as all of Brooks‘ previous work, People of the Book is a gripping and moving novel about war, art,
