Winner of the Miles Franklin Award, 2018, Longlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award, 2018, New Statesman's best books of the year, 2018, Michelle de Kretser's fifth novel is a delectable satire on the way we live now and a profoundly moving examination of the true nature of friendship.
Pippa is a writer who longs for success. Céleste tries to convince herself that her feelings for her married lover are reciprocated. Ash makes strategic use of his childhood in Sri Lanka but blots out the memory of a tragedy from that time. Driven by riveting stories and unforgettable characters, here is a dazzling meditation on intimacy, loneliness, and our flawed perception of other people.
Profoundly moving as well as bitingly funny, The Life to Come reveals how the shadows cast by both the past and the future can transform, distort, and undo the present. Travelling from Sydney to Paris and Sri Lanka, this mesmerising novel feels at once firmly classic and exhilaratingly contemporary.
