Nova: My Story: The Autobiography of Nova Peris

Book Description

Secondhand.Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Interior and binding are still excellent. Dust jacket has light creasing on top and tail edges.

Nova is the many-faceted story of a complex, determined woman who has achieved a great deal for herself, for her people, and Australia.

It covers not only her brilliant athletic career but also the often heartbreaking stories of her family, her abusive first marriage, the media-fuelled rivalry between her and Cathy Freeman, and her passionate belief in reconciliation.

Above all, this is the portrait of a woman who says: 'I don't have tickets on myself, but I will back myself.' (publisher blurb)
