Anything written by Helen Garner will be high quality writing. Occasionally though, more disturbing than enjoyable.
This book of short, mainly true stories is most enjoyable.
Some of these stories caused me to reconsider my personal values and attitudes. Towards the end of one, I had to put the book down for a while because I couldn't predict which way it was going to end and was dreadfully afraid that it would be an unhappy outcome.
This has never happened to me before. I looked at the closed book on the table and thought that if I don't finish it I can add my own happy ending. But Helen wrote the ending several years ago. Shades of Schrodinger's cat.
I had borrowed it from the library and then bought my own copy. It's a book for re-reading for lazy pleasure.
