Restless Dolly Maunder

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2024
The international bestselling author of The Secret River and
A Room Made of Leaves returns with a fictionalised account of her grandmother's
life, commemorating a strong female character making the best out of the times
and society she was born in.Dolly Maunder is born at the end of the nineteenth century,
when society's long-locked doors are just starting to creak ajar for determined
women. Growing up in a poor farming family in rural New South Wales, Dolly
spends her life doggedly pushing at those doors. A husband and two children do
not deter her from searching for love and independence.

Restless Dolly Maunder is a subversive, triumphant tale of a
pioneering woman working her way through a world of limits and obstacles, who
is able - despite the cost - to make a life she could call her own.
