the tradition of Revolutionary Road, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD by
Stephanie Bishop was an Australian bestseller (2015), and winner of
the ABIA Award for Literary Fiction Book of the Year and the 2015
Readings Prize for New Australian Fiction. It has gone on to garner
international literary acclaim. 'A stunning writer... her attention
to detail makes each scene visceral' New York Times 'As a portrait
of a marriage and motherhood, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD was the
most outstanding novel of the year for me. It's beautifully
written, profound and deeply moving' Hannah Beckerman, Express
Books of the Year Cambridge 1963. Charlotte struggles to reconnect
with the woman she was before children, and to find the time and
energy to paint. Her husband, Henry, cannot face the thought of
another English winter. A brochure slipped through the letterbox
gives him the answer: 'Australia brings out the best in you'.
Charlotte is too worn out to resist, and before she knows it is
travelling to the other side of the world. But on their arrival in
Perth, the southern sun shines a harsh light on both Henry and
Charlotte and slowly reveals that their new life is not the answer
either was hoping for. Charlotte is left wondering if there is
anywhere she belongs, and how far she'll go to find her way home...
