Book Description

Secondhand. Near fine condition.

These letters were the starting point for Kate Grenville's bestselling novel A Room Made of Leaves. They inspired the portrait of her imagined Elizabeth Macarthur- shrewd, subtle, passionate. And they offer a glimpse into the complex inner life of one of our most powerful foremothers.

Yet, until now, a general reader could only access a handful of them. This book offers an edited selection, with commentary from Grenville, of the many letters Elizabeth Macarthur wrote 'home' from colonial Sydney over her long life, letters in which we can hear the voice of a remarkable woman.

Circumstances confronted Elizabeth with enormous challenges but also gave her opportunities unknown to most women of the time. It was a life of tumult, griefs and joys-all faced with spirit, and recorded in this lively and engaging correspondence. (book flap)
