A deeply personal memoir of a near fatal illness by one of Australia's foremost writers and historians. Author of Reading the Holocaust (1998), The New York Times's 1999 Best Book of the Year. "Clendinnen is a natural writer. She is a writer with bells on... This is a book by an essayist who is also a literary master." –Sydney Morning Herald
