Description

A wonderfully evocative account of youth. At age seven, after her parents' marriage broke down, Anne Manne travelled with her mother and sisters from Adelaide to the Central Victorian countryside to begin a new life. So This Is Life is not a conventional memoir but a haunting and luminous account told through stories.

Author description

Anne Manne's works include the Quarterly Essay, 'Love and Money: The Family and the Free Market' and Motherhood: How Should We Care for Our Children.
