A Revealed Life: Australian Writers and Their Journeys in Memoir

The desire to share our stories is universal. The stories we tell, in turn, reveal a lot about us. The endless possibilities of our lives make us unique but also connect us. Join forty of Australia's best storytellers in A Revealed Life, an anthology of the moments and events that have shaped their lives between birth and death. From Georgia Blain's encounter with pregnancy in 'The Story My Mother Tells Me'; to Sally Breen's tale of teenage empowerment in 'Mac Attack'; to David Malouf's journeys in memory in 'The Exotic at Home'; and Marion Halligan's reflections on religion and ritual at a time of loss, in 'Small Candle Flames'.
