Like Carol Shields, Joan Didion and Kate Grenville in previous years, Helen Garner is a bestselling writer waiting to be discovered by a British audience. The Spare Room is an electrifying novel about the distance a friendship must travel, and the depths it must plumb, when confronted by the threat of death. It is full of wisdom, dark laughter and truth.
