\n<\/em>‘Funny, devastating, miraculous, and delightful. This is an extraordinary life story, extraordinarily told.’ Bri Lee, author of Eggshell Skull<\/em><\/p>\n

‘[Rose] takes us to the edge of a volcanic crater of grief, passion and spirituality. Dazzling and devastating.’ Tim Rogers, author of Detours<\/em><\/p>\n

Born on the island of Tasmania, Heather Rose falls in love with nature, but a family tragedy at age twelve sets her on a course to explore life and all its mysteries.<\/p>\n

Here is a wild barefoot girl keen for adventure, a seeker of truth initiated in ancient rituals, a fledgling writer who becomes one of Australia’s most acclaimed authors, a fierce mother whose body may falter at any moment.<\/p>\n

Nothing Bad Ever Happens Here <\/em>is a luminous, compelling and utterly surprising memoir by the bestselling author of Stella Prize-winner The Museum of Modern Love <\/em>and Bruny<\/em>. Heartbreaking and beautiful, this is a love story brimming with courage and joy against all odds, one that will bring wonder, light and comfort to all who read it.<\/p>\n
