Jennifer Down cements her status as a leading light of Australian literary fiction in this heart-rending and intimate saga of one woman’s turbulent life<\/p>\n

So by the grace of a photograph that had inexplicably gone viral, Tony had found me. Or- he’d found Maggie. <\/em>

<\/em>I had no way of knowing whether he was nuts or not; whether he might go to the cops. Maybe that sounds paranoid, but I don’t think it’s so ridiculous. People have gone to prison for much lesser things than accusations of child-killing.<\/em>

<\/em>A quiet, small-town existence. An unexpected Facebook message, jolting her back to the past. A history she’s reluctant to revisit- dark memories and unspoken trauma, warning knocks on bedroom walls, unfathomable loss.<\/p>\n

She became a new person a long time ago. What happens when buried stories are dragged into the light?<\/p>\n

This epic novel from the two-time Sydney Morning Herald<\/em> Young Novelist of the Year is a masterwork of tragedy and heartbreak-the story of a life in full. Sublimely wrought in devastating detail, Bodies of Light<\/em> confirms Jennifer Down as one of the writers defining her generation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
