Produktinformationen zu „Text Classics: Blue Skies (ePub)“
In Helen Hodgman's dazzlingly written debut a young woman is trapped in a small city on an island at the end of the world—by motherhood and an absent husband, by busybody in-laws and neighbours, by a drab society yet to throw off the shackles of its colonial past. A darkly funny tale of a crack-up in stultifying suburbia, Blue Skies marked the emergence of a unique, acerbic voice in Australian fiction.
This edition includes an introduction by the acclaimed Tasmanian author Danielle Wood.
