An enchanting and nostalgic tale of Ireland in the 1950s by Ireland’s favourite writer, Alice Taylor. The Phelans have owned Mossgrove for generations. The small, rural Irish farm has been the pride of them all until Ned's wife, Martha, arrives and begins to undermine generations of hard work and happiness. She resents the deep history of the place and sets about making it her own, shutting out what is left of Ned's family. She is particularly jealous of Ned's sister, Kate, a local nurse and doting aunt to Martha's children.

Story
Dora ist mit ihrer kleinen Hündin aufs Land gezogen. Sie brauchte dringend einen Tapetenwechsel, mehr Freiheit, Raum zum Atmen. Aber ganz so idyllisch wie gedacht ist Bracken, das kleine Dorf im brandenburgischen Nirgendwo, nicht. In Doras Haus gibt es noch keine Möbel, der Garten gleicht einer Wildnis, und die Busverbindung in die Kreisstadt ist ein Witz. Vor allem aber verbirgt sich hinter der hohen Gartenmauer ein Nachbar, der mit kahlrasiertem Kopf und rechten Sprüchen sämtlichen Vorurteilen zu entsprechen scheint.

Story
Inner-suburban Melbourne in the 1970s: a world of communal living, drugs, music and love - Garner captures the fluid relationships of a community of friends. Helen Garner’s gritty, lyrical first novel divided the critics on its publication in 1977. Today, Monkey Grip is regarded as a masterpiece - the novel that shines a light on a time and a place and a way of living never before presented in Australian literature: communal households, music, friendships, children, love, drugs and sex.
