The Spare Room by Helen Garner

3.0

I didn't really know what to expect from this book,... for example from the first few pages I thought it was going to be a bit spooky and eerie... the broken mirror (strange happenings or metaphors???) and then the strange little girl wandering around?? (ghostly?) Don't know where I thought that was going but it was odd. Maybe I need to re-read this book. Anyhow, it didn't move me in ways that it has moved others. A good read though and insightful. The last few pages were beautifully written!! Stunning in fact. Interesting style and will be looking out for her other books!
