Another Song About Love

Another Song About Love begins in the popular music scene of Melbourne, Australia, in the 1980s, when Lillie and her two close friends Wendy and Anna form a rock band playing gigs around the inner city. It's a time when roles for women are undergoing great change and ideals of romantic love and the nuclear family are being challenged. As the band becomes increasingly popular Lillie struggles to juggle her music career and her personal life alongside being a single mother to her son. Lillie ends up singing about love more than experiencing it; at least that's how she feels. The novel explores the roots of those feelings as well as the reasons why Lillie is so compelled to make a success of her life as a musician. With the sexism of the global entertainment industry being questioned once again and the #MeToo movement gaining international traction, Lillie Bloom's grit and determination is a timely testament to the strength and resilience women have needed in order to succeed in their chosen careers.
