Blue Skies: Text Classics
Helen Hodgman
On its initial release in 1976, Helen Hodgman’s Blue Skies was met with critical acclaim. Blue Skies now takes its rightful place as a Text Classic, cementing Helen Hodgman’s place in the Australian literary canon.
In Helen Hodgman’s dazzlingly written debut a young woman is trapped in a small city on an island at the end of the world - by motherhood and an absent husband, by busybody in-laws and neighbours, by a drab society yet to throw off the shackles of its colonial past.
A darkly funny tale of a crack-up in stultifying suburbia, Blue Skies marked the emergence of a unique, acerbic voice in Australian fiction.
This edition includes an introduction by the acclaimed Tasmanian author Danielle Wood.
