I found this a good story to accompany me (as an audiobook) on nocturnal runs. The audio production was not perfect, with a few re-reads of the same sentence. I did also think the narrator gave very different emphasis than I would have given to much of the text, giving sentences very different meaning to the one I would have taken. There's a lot to be said for authors reading their own book. The plot wasn't always entirely believable, but many of the interactions between characters seemed very insightful in their observations. I wonder if Ms Maley has another book in her. I'd read it ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

How can you write other people's stories, when you won't admit the truth of your own? An absorbing, moving, ruefully tender, witty and wise novel of marriage, motherhood and the paths we navigate through both. Journalist and single mother Suzy Hamilton gets a phone call one summer morning, and finds out that the subject of one of her investigative exposes, 25-year-old wellness blogger Tracey Doran, has killed herself overnight. Suzy is horrified by this news but copes in the only way she knows how - through work, mothering, and carrying on with her ill-advised, tandem affairs. The consequences of her actions catch up with Suzy over the course of a sticky Sydney summer. She starts receiving anonymous vindictive letters and is pursued by Tracey's mother wanting her, as a kind of rough justice, to tell Tracey's story, but this time, the right way. A tender, absorbing, intelligent and moving exploration of guilt, shame, female anger, and, in particular, mothering, with all its trouble and treasure, this novel is mostly though a story about the nature of stories - who owns them, who gets to tell them, and why we need them.
