Nova: My Story: The Autobiography of Nova Peris

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Previous owner has signed inside page. Otherwise interior is 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 own people, and for Australia.

It covers not only her brilliant athletic career but often heartbreaking stories of her family, her abusive first marriage, the media-fuelled rivalry between herself 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)
