Restless Dolly Maunder / Kate Grenville. - [London] : Canongate, 2023. - [6], 242 strony : ilustracja ; 20 cm.
Książka w języku angielskim. Author returns with a fictionalised account of her grandmother’s life, commemorating a strong female character making the best out of the times and society she was born in. Dolly Maunder is born at the end of the nineteenth century, when society’s long-locked doors are just starting to creak ajar for determined women. Growing up in a poor farming family in rural New South Wales, Dolly spends her life doggedly pushing at those doors. A husband and two children do not deter her from searching for love and independence. Restless Dolly Maunder is a subversive, triumphant tale of a pioneering woman working her way through a world of limits and obstacles, who is able – despite the cost – to make a life she could call her own.
