Reseña del libro "The Women and the Girls (en Inglés)"
The Age of Aquarius meets the Dawning of Divorce in an evocative novel of the 1970s. 'There's plenty of depth to Bloom's characters, who are smart, funny and relatable in today's modern world.' The Courier-Mail It's 1977, and bohemian Libby - stay-at-home mother, genius entertainer and gifted cook - is lonely. When she meets Carol, recently emigrated from London with her controlling husband, and Anna, who loves her career but not her marriage, the three women form an unexpected bond. Their husbands aren't happy about it, and neither are their daughters. Set against a backdrop of inner-city grunge and 70s glamour, far-out parties and ABBA songs, The Women and the Girls is a funny, questioning and moving novel about love, friendship, work, family, and freedom. 'The sustenance we gain from equal relationships is the heart and soul of this work.' - Living Arts Canberra 'Majestic... Overwhelmingly poignant, simply wonderful - this book should be on your reading pile.' - South Australian Book Review 'This is a different world to the present, if one that still seems within reach...But the '70s, as now, were transitional times. As we adjust to a pandemic-riddled world where some rules we thought were fixed are now negotiable, we are all facing similar challenges.' Newtown Review of Books
