How do we find ourselves when we lose others? This striking novel from the author of the widely acclaimed Candy explores the life of a young woman as she deals with the deaths of the two important men in her life: her great love Matthew Smith, and her 'gorgeous, sad father' Tom Airly. A lyrical meditation on love, loss, betrayal, disintegration and the passage of time, Isabelle the Navigator charts Isabelle's inner journey, as well as her actual travels-from childhood in Sydney, to love in the vast spaces off the Western Australian coast, to grief and eventually hope in Paris. This is a portrait of an extraordinarily vital woman that is at once epic and fable, swirling and intensely focused. Candy was a novel about addiction, claustrophobia and a destructive momentum; Isabelle the Navigator bursts forward from this darkness in its exploration of a life more fully lived. What the critics said about Candy 'A love story of profound tenderness . . . an important book.' Canberra Times 'A significant novel . . . a powerful debut.' Australian 'A superbly written novel by a very talented Australian author.' Age
