Celebrating the life and works of Writer, Julia Darling
In this definitive collection, Julia Darling’s indomitable women emerge laughing, shouting and snarling. Darling’s cast of aunties, sister, mothers and grandmothers do battle with house keys and knitting needles as they deal with cancer, teen angst and tyranny.
A collection of fourteen of Julia’s passionate, funny and powerful stories. Her women stride courageously through them with ambition, lust, desire and doubt. These stories frequently explore the extremes of parental tyranny and defiant existence on the urban margins.
Short stories by Julia Darling are like espresso shots of prose brewed in a stove-top Italian percolator. They are intense tales of the complex emotionally charged relationships between mothers and daughters, sisters or teenage peers.
