Drawing on a life lived at the very heart of Australian political and public life, the book chronicles her personal journey through loss, faith, family, and the quiet, enduring strengths that sustained her through decades of public scrutiny and private grief. Written with the grace and conviction of a woman who shaped a nation, it presents an intimate portrait of mid-twentieth-century Australia as seen through the eyes of one of its most extraordinary figures.\n\nDame Enid Lyons writes with a lyrical sincerity that elevates personal reflection into a broader meditation on womanhood, duty, and the human capacity for perseverance. Her prose is unhurried and deeply felt, rooted in the traditions of Catholic faith and the bonds of family that defined her remarkable life alongside Prime Minister Joseph Lyons and beyond. So We Take Comfort stands as both a historical document and a spiritual testament — a book that leaves the reader asking what true comfort really means when forged in the fires of public life and personal loss.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336810406107,"sku":"2026100008842-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/112eb6f4-c11c-4aef-8dee-c3b28ac109fb.png?v=1789958347","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008842-secondhand-so-we-take-comfort","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
