FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE-SHORTLISTED AND WOMEN''S PRIZE-WINNING AUSTRALIAN NOVELIST

Kate Grenville often takes inspiration for her fiction from her family history and this extraordinary memoir about the life of her own mother, Nance Russell, reveals why

Born to an unhappy marriage and into a deeply sexist society, Nance worked hard for everything she had, and while the world changed around her, she went on to university, opening businesses and raising a family.

One Life is just as much a universal story as it is Nance''sBeautifully captured by her daughter, it draws on the tales passed down by word of mouth, creating an evocative portrait of life in twentieth-century rural Australia and a deeply intimate and caring homage to a mother''s struggle.
