Synopsis

Winner, Australian/Vogel Literary Award 1994 This is the story of Lilian Singer, born on 'a wild night in the year of Federation' into a stifling household which totally fails to subdue her. Madness, cruelty and sexuality permeate the household but Lilian's sights are set on education, love and - finally - her own transcendent forms of independence. Lilian Singer is, or becomes, that rare being: an eccentric true to her own self whose story reaches out to touch and delight the most discerning reader. Lilian's Story is the most loved of Kate Grenville's fictional creations. Lilian Singer radiates energy and vitality through every page of this striking work.
