Fog Garden
Somewhere in the kaleidoscope between life and art sits Clare, whose story is Marion Halligan’s The Fog Garden. Clare, like Marion, is a woman of a certain age whose much-loved husband of thirty-odd years has just died. And Clare, like Marion, is a novelist.
With the loss of such a marriage of true minds and kindred spirits Clare finds herself building a ‘cathedral of grief’ – and reeling into the arms of an old friend. Life and writing loop and spiral around Clare and the central enormous fact of her husband’s death.
The Fog Garden is a rollercoaster of a story about the nature of fiction and how life creates art, how adultery can be liberating and how sex doesn’t stop with age, and how grief is as much a gift as love.
Halligan has crafted a poignant and powerful novel, playing all the time on that dangerous ground between her own life and that of her heroine.
Goodnight Sweetheart
A successful lawyer, bon vivant, loving husband and father, has a heart attack and dies while swimming in the local pool. A man apparently happily married, yet, with two divorces behind him and three puzzled children. In death it seems that he is not the person everyone thought.
As his extended family gathers to mourn, secrets and lies unfold uncomfortably around them. Those pornographic images on his laptop? An unexpected lover – is he still philandering? But somewhere in the turmoil of mourning each of them has to find an answer to the question – who was this man really? What mysteries has he taken to the grave with him?
