Autumn Laing by Alex Miller
. In the 1930s Autumn Laing seduced the abundantly talented artist Pat Donlon. Fifty-three years later, cantankerous, engaging, unrestrainable 85-year-old Autumn is shocked to find within herself a powerful need for redemption. As she begins to tell her story, she writes, 'They are all dead and I am old and skeleton-gaunt. This is where it began...'
Written with compassion and intelligence, this energetic, funny and wise novel peels back the layers of storytelling and asks what truth has to do with it. Autumn Laing is an unflinchingly intimate portrait of a woman, and a brilliantly energetic story of love, loyalty and creativity.
