    A Brief Affair
    <b>A moving novel about storytelling, about truths, and love, from twice Miles Franklin Award winner Alex Miller.</b><br/><br/>'More than one ghost haunts this tender novel about love in its many guises, condoned and illicit. In his deceptively simple, lucid prose, Alex Miller examines the emotional contradictions inherent in apparent opposites as his central character learns to draw strength and inspiration from unlikely places. Hauntingly beautiful, <i>A Brief Affair</i> will resonate long after its pages are closed.' Sylvia Martin, author of <i>Ink in Her Veins: The Troubled Life of Aileen Palmer</i><br/><br/>From the bustling streets of China, to the ominous Cell 16 in an old asylum building, to the familiar sounds and sight of galahs flying over a Victorian farm, <i>A Brief Affair</i> is a tender love story.<br/><br/>On the face of it, Dr Frances Egan is a woman who has it all - a loving family and a fine career - until a brief, perfect affair reveals to her an imaginative dimension to her life that is wholly her own.<br/><br/>Fran finds the courage and the inspiration to risk everything and change her direction at the age of forty-two. This newfound understanding of herself is fortified by the discovery of a long-forgotten diary from the asylum and the story it reveals.<br/><br/>Written with humour, sensitivity and the wisdom for which Miller's work is famous, this exquisitely compassionate novel explores the interior life and the dangerous navigation of love in all its forms.
