A beautiful new edition of Hazel Rowley's compelling biography of one of Australia's most important writers, Christina Stead. This new edition of Hazel Rowley's highly acclaimed biography of Christina Stead brings to life one of the most important literary figures of her age. Christina Stead left Australia in 1928, aged twenty-six, for Europe, not to return to Australia until she was seventy-two. An intensely private person, Stead lived a life that was stormy, eccentric and brave. Stead's fiction was large and passionate, original and challenging, as was her life. Hazel Rowley's compelling biography is a vigorous, penetrating and sympathetic chronicle of Stead's life and times.

Beautifully Written Book

Alex Miller praised Hazel Rowley’s biography of Christina Stead in his book “the simplest words” so I hunted for it and finally found it at The Book Grocer. I found is a fascinating read and feel I know Christina Stead. The book has made me want to read her novels. It was easy to order and arrived promptly. Thank you.
