About This Item
Ringwood, Vic: Penguin Books, 1999. Aus Literary Award Winner. Used. isobel Callaghan fears she is going mad. She has resigned from her job, and is trying to survive as a writer. With no food left in her rooming-house attic, she sets out to buy provisions from the corner shop. On the way she collapses, and to her surprise wakes up in hospital . . . From there it's a bumpy ride to the tuberculosis sanitorium, where isobel becomes a member of a self-contained society. The god-like doctors and an assorted, less than compatible, cast of patients help isobel gain hard insights about herself, and about human nature, on the slow path to recuperation. While many of the experiences recounted in this memorable novel are grim, Amy Witting manages at the same time to be continually and compassionately funny. The sequel to the bestselling i for isobel.
