AWW22 Bodies of Light - Jennifer Down

Chaired by Cath Kenneally.


Holly lives a simple life in America when a Facebook message from
across the seas and decades brings her past hurtling back, a past
of trauma, abuse and terrible sadness. As she slowly excavates
her life, as Holly, as Jo, as Maggie, we explore the courage and
desperation it takes to reinvent a life once, twice, thrice. A
book of great empathy, heartbreak and devastating beauty,
Jennifer Down's Bodies of Light asks how much trauma a person can
bear, and how one can find a way to live with it.
