Garner, Helen, 1942-2019
Audiobooks
This book brings Helen Garner's short fiction together into one volume. Her most loved stories are here: 'Postcards from Surfers', 'My Hard Heart' and 'A Happy Story'. Garner's focus is on love and longing, on the pain, darkness and joy of life, on the unexpected events, no matter how small, that transform us. Her mastery of the story is revealed in the sharpness of her observation, her honesty and humour, her ear for speech and the rhythm of her prose. Stories is the companion volume to Helen Garner's True Stories: The Collected Short Non-fiction.
