PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
This strangely charming novella ... the focus is on family and class dynamics and the style and point of view are sweet and sharp by turns, like a Granny Smith apple. --Kerryn Goldsworthy, The Sydney Morning Herald A novelist of unnerving talent. --The New York Times on Claire Messud A perfect frolic of a book, puffed on breezes of beauty and wit: it waltzes you through a little fear, a little darkness, and tips you out, refreshed and laughing, into the sun. --Helen Garner, author, The Spare Room Among our greatest contemporary writers --The New Yorker on Claire Messud Witty, arch and acutely observed, A Dream Life expertly captures the excruciating insecurities of class in our supposedly classless society. --Geraldine Brooks, author, March and People of the Book
