Publisher Description
o by the grace of a photograph that had inexplicably gone viral, Tony had found me. Or: he’d found Maggie.
I had no way of knowing whether he was nuts or not; whether he might go to the cops. Maybe that sounds paranoid, but I don’t think it’s so ridiculous. People have gone to prison for much lesser things than accusations of child-killing.
A quiet, small-town existence. An unexpected Facebook message, jolting her back to the past. A history she’s reluctant to revisit: dark memories and unspoken trauma, bruised thighs and warning knocks on bedroom walls, unfathomable loss.
She became a new person a long time ago. What happens when buried stories are dragged into the light?
This epic novel from the two-time Sydney Morning Herald Young Novelist of the Year is a masterwork of tragedy and heartbreak—the story of a life in full. Sublimely wrought in devastating detail, Bodies of Light confirms Jennifer Down as one of the writers defining her generation.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
From blockbusters like Jurassic Park to artful films like The Piano, actor Sam Neill has made an amazing career of telling other people’s stories. But after being diagnosed with leukemia in 2022, Neill realized he had a few of his own to tell. His touching memoir is full of funny and affectionate stories from a life in show business, from the beer-drinking chimpanzee Neill met on The Zookeeper to the time his son couldn’t control his flatulence…while seated next to Princess Diana. Neill’s soft, charismatic narration is entrancing—we felt like we were sitting across a pub table from a gifted storyteller, whose reflections are full of grace and kindness. Did I Ever Tell You This? is the memoir of a hardworking everyman who just happens to be a movie star.
