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

4.0

Helen Garner’s writing is just purifying, gripping and brilliant, all the damn time. Her dedication and emotions are captured in such fascinating and gut wrenching detail, seeming to paint her life’s struggles with a mixture of jagged and gentle strokes. The ugly, the beautiful, and the gritty inbetweens. The interactions and the arguments, and the solemn silence that passes every now and then, breathing space.
