9 d. ago A Family Matter by Claire Lynch review – powerful debut about lesbian mothers in the 80s

A woman is forced to rethink her childhood after she learns that her mother was denied custody, in a decade blighted by homophobiaFor a writer, the 1980s bear rich, dark fruit. The social and political turbulence of the decade provides the perfect landscape for Claire Lynch’s dual-timeline debut novel A Family Matter, which alternates between 1982 and the present day. On the surface, it is the story of a father-daughter relationship. Heron – an elderly man deeply fond of rules and routine – has recently received a terminal cancer diagnosis, but rather than share it with his grownup daughter, Maggie, who now has a family of her own, he chooses to bear the burden alone. As we learn that Heron raised Maggie by himself, it’s clear this urge to shield his only child from harm is a continuous theme. There is no mention of another parent, just that Heron was divorced many decades ago; it’s only when Lynch takes us back to 1982 that we discover the true story.When Maggie was a toddler,...

4 w. ago A jolt back to life: after years of avoiding risk, I have decided to dive in and say yes | Nova Weetman

By being scared, embarrassed or even just nervous, I feel present, like I’m still hereYears ago, I travelled to Weipa on the Cape York peninsula to run a week of writing workshops at a school. We flew in as the sun set, and by the time I left the small tin shed airport with the keys to the hire car, it was pitch black. I threw my bags on to the back seat and turned on my phone, discovering that my carrier didn’t work in far north Queensland. There was no GPS in the car, no street directory tucked under the seat, and the other arrivals had already fled the bush airport and disappeared into the night.I gulped down the fear that was growing in my stomach as I realised that I had absolutely no idea where I was going, and no bars of reception to tell me. I turned the key in the ignition and drove the dusty road until I reached what I assumed was the highway. Continue reading...
