Summer Visit: Three Novellas

by Antigone Kefala

Summer Visit is a collection of three novellas by the distinguished Australian poet Antigone Kefala.

‘Intimacy’, charts the breakdown of a marriage. ‘Conversations with Mother’ is a portrait of grief. Between these stories of crisis, ‘Summer Visit’ speaks of memory and the past as a living force.

All exhibit the remarkable combination of clarity, intensity and spareness, for which Kefala is renowned.

Kefale writes with intelligence and without pretense. She infuses her descriptions of the everyday with cultural references in a natural manner, with remarkable lightness. This book was a joy.
