Description
Nora's life is a whirlwind of communal households, public pools, and nights spent dancing and drinking. But when she meets Javo, with his wild face and violent blue eyes, her world is turned upside down. Trapped in the grip of his drug addiction and her own obsessive love, Nora's happiness is lost forever.
First published in 1977, Monkey Grip was a sensation and a lightning rod for its frank portrayal of a generation. Now, it stands as a testament to Helen Garner's dazzling and radical literary voice. With its raw, unflinching portrayal of love, addiction, and obsession, this novel remains a powerful and haunting read.
