If you like Helen Garner you’ll like this series. Recommend you buy it on Kindle - I bought the paper version of Real Estate and the typography was so bad it was almost unreadable.

I enjoyed the autobiographical parts of Things I Don’t Want to Know (parts two and three) much more than the theoretical, more overtly feminist parts (one and four). Levy quotes and takes inspiration from some incredible authors, but I didn’t feel she had much to add in these sections.

Her musings on her childhood experiences, though, were remarkable. Her ability to so totally capture the voice, intellect, and imagination of a child was wonderful.
