"Women are basically flawed. They are despicable creatures, unable to think, easily swayed." A man who had mutilated and then killed his wife, spoke these words from an open jail cell during a television documentary. His wife's friends appealed to viewers to focus world attention on her death and the plight of others like her, for whom it might not be too late. My novel tries to answer that appeal. In The Honour Killings, Sara and her two friends have just graduated from high school. They look forward with high hopes to career or marriage, or perhaps both. But their families lock them up and force unwilling marital choices on them. Sara flees from her family and gets away with her life. Her two school friends are not so lucky. Tani is sliced up with a carving knife and left for dead. Her husband sets fire to Minoo, who dies in Sara's arms. With the help of good friends, Sara fights for her freedom as her family pursues her across a continent. She knows that only by her own survival can she secure justice and world recognition for her friends.
Two novellas about the deep connections we forge with the people we love, and the pain of breaking those connections. In Honour, Kathleen and Frank are amicably separated, in contact through shared parenting of their young daughter, Flo. But when Frank finds a new partner and wants a divorce, Kathleen is hurt. And Flo can’t understand why they all can’t live together. In Other People’s Children, Ruth and Scotty live in a big share house that’s breaking up. Scotty is trying to hold on, remembering the early days of telling life stories and laughter and singing—and when the kids were everyone’s kids. But now the bitterness has crept in and their friendship is broken. Ruth is ready to move on—and she’ll take her kids with her. Helen Garner writes novels, stories, screenplays and works of non-fiction. In 2006 she received the inaugural Melbourne Prize for Literature, and in 2016 she won the prestigious Windham-Campbell Prize for non-fiction and the Western Australian Premier’s Book Award. Her book of essays Everywhere I Look won the 2017 Indie Book Award for Non-Fiction. ‘Garner is scrupulous, painstaking, and detailed, with sharp eyes and ears. She is everywhere at once, watching and listening, a recording angel at life’s secular apocalypses...her unillusioned eye makes her clarity compulsive.’ James Wood, New Yorker ‘She drills into experience and comes up with such clean, precise distillations of life, once you read them they enter into you. Successive generations of writers have felt the keen influence of her work and for this reason Garner has become part of us all.’ Weekend Australian ‘Helen Garner’s collections of fiction and non-fiction corroborate her reputation as a great stylist and a great witness.’ Peter Craven, Australian
