Sinopsis

Living alone in the Blue Mountains, baby-boomer Kate Ward is estranged from her adult son. Where did it all go wrong?She decides to return to Salt Pan Creek, the place of her childhood in post-war Sydney suburbia. It&rsquo,s here that she must come to terms with a history that&rsquo,s far greater than her own personal past.While All the Lives We&rsquo,ve Lived takes us back to relive the fifties, sixties and seventies, it&rsquo,s Kate&rsquo,s willingness to confront the truth of her teenage relationship with Gary, an indigenous boy, that reflects Australia&rsquo,s need to face its collective colonial past.Blending fictional and historical characters and events, this deeply moving novel of interconnected stories is ultimately about storytelling itself: about our need to tell them, about the ones we remember, the ones we value, and the ones we distort because the truth may be too hard to bear.&lsquo,This is an exceptional novel &ndash, a work of the imagination edged with compelling reality. The lives go on in the rhythms of the prose and vibrate in the memory. The story is a brave one, and this is a book I will come back to again.&rsquo, &ndash, Robert Adamson, poet, publisher and inaugural CAL Chair of Poetry at University of Technology, Sydney&lsquo,Each story is a jewel set perfectly into the whole where the interior worlds of the characters are rendered in engaging and powerful detail.&rsquo, &ndash,á Jo Gardiner, author of The Concerto Inn
