Here Until August: Stories by Josephine Rowe

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Right front cover corners now protected by book tape. Interior and binding are still excellent.

A masterful collection of heartbreak, travel and seduction from an internationally acclaimed Australian author.

These superbly crafted short stories follow the fates of characters who, by choice or by force, are travelling beyond the boundaries of their known worlds. We meet them negotiating reluctant departures, navigating uncertain returns or biding the disquieting calm that often precedes decisive action.

From the Catskill Mountains to New South Wales, the abandoned island outports of Newfoundland to the sprawl of an Australian metropolis, this scintillating collection from one of Australia's most gifted writers shows us how the places we inhabit shape us in ways both remote and intimate.
