Today, Monkey Grip is regarded as a masterpiece-the novel that shines a light on a time and a place and a way of living never before presented in Australian literature: communal households, music, friendships, children, love, drugs, and sex.    When Nora falls in love with Javo, she is caught in the web of his addiction; and as he moves between loving her and leaving, between his need for her and promises broken, Nora's life becomes an intense dance of loving and trying to let go.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45125572460763,"sku":"9781925773156-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/md30115888216.jpg?v=1711589173","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781925773156-secondhand-monkey-grip","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
