The true story that fascinated Helen Garner

In 2005 a tragic event occurred when a father, after an argument with his ex-wife, drove his three young sons home. On the return journey their car left the road and the children drowned. This cruel fate became the basis for an extensive court case that Helen Garner followed with intense involvement. Her book This House of Grief is a masterpiece of non-fiction that not only details the course of the trial but, above all, examines the emotions and truths we conceal within ourselves and often refuse to acknowledge.

Besides the gripping narrative, the book offers philosophical and psychological dimensions that force the reader to reflect on the limits of human capacity to confront painful truths. It is an ideal title for lovers of the true crime genre and high-quality contemporary literature.
