Publisher's Summary
A deeply personal collection filled with reflections on love, death, creativity and healing, from the award-winning author of Bruny and The Museum of Modern Love.
It occurred to me that nothing bad ever happens here. Every human life is perfect in its own way. We cannot understand that, because it seems like there is so much suffering. But maybe every life is perfect for we need to know and learn and see and understand. Even when we don't understand, even when the suffering seems unfathomable, does some part of us understand? Could that really be true, I wondered?
After a shocking family tragedy transforms Heather Rose's Tasmanian childhood, she becomes a seeker of life and all its mysteries. Heather has spent a lifetime testing boundaries and exploring the connections between love and death, the natural world and the body. Her questing spirit and her strong affinity with nature have inspired and driven her throughout her life—and deeply sustained her in times of darkness. Her words will bring wonder, light and comfort to all who listen to this astonishing book.
Nothing Bad Ever Happens Here is a luminous, compelling and utterly surprising memoir by the bestselling author of Stella Prize-winner The Museum of Modern Love and Bruny.
'A glorious novel, meditative and special in a way that defies easy articulation.' HANNAH KENT, author of Burial Rites
