Helen Garner

The Spare Room (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

When Helen invites her old friend Nicola to stay in her spare room, she has no idea what she is taking on: for Nicola has cancer, and from the moment she staggers through the front door, imperious, deluded and maddeningly endearing, she turns Helen's life inside out.

In the three weeks that follow, Helen is driven through extremes of rage and tenderness to become Nicola's nurse, protector, guardian angel and stony judge.

The Spare Room is an unforgettable novel about the distance a friendship mus travel, and the depths it must plumb, when confronted by the threat of death. It is full of wisdom, dark laughter and truth.
