Inner-suburban Melbourne in the 1970s: a world of communal living, drugs, music and love - Garner captures the fluid relationships of a community of friends. Helen Garner’s gritty, lyrical first novel divided the critics on its publication in 1977. Today, Monkey Grip is regarded as a masterpiece - the novel that shines a light on a time and a place and a way of living never before presented in Australian literature: communal households, music, friendships, children, love, drugs and sex.

She dreams of a house with its own front door while she flicks through the pages of the Freemans catalogue, ordering a little happiness on credit, anything to brighten up her grey life.

Fusing the narrative power of an award-winning novelist and the detailed research of an experienced investigator, author Darcy O'Brien unfolds the story of Dr. John Dale Cavaness, the southern Illinois physician and surgeon charged with the murder of his son Sean in December 1984. Outraged by the arrest of the skilled medical practitioner who selflessly attended to their needs, the people of Little Egypt, as the natives call their region, rose to his defense. But during the subsequent trial, a radically different, disquieting portrait of Dr. Cavaness would emerge.

Jonathan Franzen’s gift for wedding depth and vividness of character with breadth of social vision has never been more dazzlingly evident than in Crossroads. A tour de force of interwoven perspectives and sustained suspense, its action largely unfolding on a single winter day, Crossroads is the story of a Midwestern family at a pivotal moment of moral crisis. Jonathan Franzen’s gift for melding the small picture and the big picture has never been more dazzlingly evident.

A body always tells a story - but this child’s was a blank page. Rita reached for the lantern. She trained its light on the child’s face. "Who are you?" she murmured, but the face said as little as the rest of her. It was impossible to tell whether, in life, these blunt and unfinished features had borne the imprint of prettiness, timid watchfulness, or sly mischief. If there had once been curiosity or placidity or impatience here, life had not had time to etch it into permanence. Only a very short time ago, the body and soul of this little girl had still been securely attached.

Publisher's Summary
This House of Grief is a heartbreaking audiobook by one of Australia's most admired authors. Anyone can see the place where the children died. You take the Princes Highway past Geelong, and keep going west in the direction of Colac.
Late in August 2006, soon after I had watched a magistrate commit Robert Farquharson to stand trial before a jury on three charges of murder, I headed out that way on a Sunday morning, across the great volcanic plain.
On the evening of 4 September 2005, Father's Day, Robert Farquharson, a separated husband, was driving his three sons home to their mother, Cindy, when his car left the road and plunged into a dam. The boys, aged 10, seven and two, drowned. Was this an act of revenge or a tragic accident?
The court case became Helen Garner's obsession. She followed it on its protracted course until the final verdict.
In this utterly compelling audiobook, Helen Garner tells the story of a man and his broken life. She presents the theatre of the courtroom with its actors and audience - all gathered to witness to the truth - players in the extraordinary and unpredictable drama of the quest for justice.

Murder or tragic accident?
Helen Garner is an accomplished journalist whose skills in research and engaging writing come to the fore in this examination of an Australian tragedy - the death of three young boys at the hands of their father. She manages to keep a critical distance from the trauma of the accident as she follows the court case allowing the reader/ listener to form their own judgements about the culpability or not of the defendant. It’s a very sad event but she does not allow the text to be maudlin or sentimental and she retains respect and sympathy for those involved.

Worst reader EVER
I hate this reader so much. She ruined an extremely good book. When reading normally she was quite good, but as soon as characters spoke she put on horrible accents, as it's a court-based story, speech is constant. She gave the defendant and witnesses terribly done, 'occa Aussie' accents making them sound like they had low IQs and were idiots. The judges and prosecutor had hoity toity pseudo-British accents for some stupid reason, and the defence lawyer had a mixture of both. This also made the story seem biased, as it was a crime story - seemed like the narrator wanted the listener to think the defendant was stupid and guilty and the prosecution superior and more educated to the defence. This impression would not have come across in the text as written. Then she started putting on accents for American witnesses and it got to be too much. Not to mention her revolting depiction of people expressing emotion - whenever the text read '...she cried' or '...said through a choked voice' etc she put on this very hard to listen to pretend crying voice complete with sighs and whinging noises for bad effect.
I really enjoyed the story of this book but she absolutely ruined it to the point of every time a person spoke, I'd cringe and grimace waiting for her stupid voices to stop. I wish I'd just read the book not listened to it as I hated it and would never recommend it to anyone with this narrator.

Back away from the audio version of this book
Download the non-audio version instead The narrator is infuriating to listen to. I felt like I was listening to an adults version of Playschool storytime. The narrator should try narrating only fiction. Unfortunately, her performance was so.distracting that I could not appreciate the author's work.

I didn’t want to start the book by disliking the narration. I tried to keep an open mind, I really did! I wanted to give the narrator a fair go but I am sorry - I have to agree the narration was hokey, over dramatic and distracted from a well-written account of an interesting trial.

This is such a distressing story but incredibly well written and well performed. I couldn’t stop listening, even though I was familiar with the story. I felt like I was right there in the court room watching it play out.
