Six Bedrooms by Tegan Bennett Daylight

4.0

Really beautiful, evocative writing. Reminiscent of Helen Garner's early short fiction collection 'Postcards from Surfers' in a few respects- in a really good way though. The stories collected here are a good antidote to a lot of the literary fiction that has been coming out of Australia in the last decade and then some. The is a sparse poetry to her work. There is actual imagery. There are humans being messily, relentlessly human. It brought some summer afternoon light into a grey mountains autumn.
