How to End a Story: Diaries: 1995–1998 by Helen Garner

5.0

This was like being trapped behind a sound proof wall shouting “run!” … but also, full of admiration for her honesty. How many of us would have been tempted to gloss over the past, make ourselves look a bit better. This is a handbook for every time you thought you were right and someone convinced you that you were “imagining things” which is what we called gaslighting back in the 90’s.
