About this listen
A portrait of a vanished world, and a love story for the ages - from the award-winning author of Lucky's.
In the fading glow of Australia's print journalism era, The National is more than a newspaper: it's an institution, and the only place that George Desoulis has ever felt at home. A world-weary subeditor with a bookish sensibility and a painful past, George is one of nature's loners.
But a late-night encounter with a successful and self-assured colleague, Cassandra, begins to unravel both of their carefully managed worlds. As the decline of the newspaper enters a desperate stage, George and Cassandra struggle to navigate their turbulent relationship, as well as their responsibilities to family, and the compromises they have each built their lives upon.
With a deft wit and a sharp eye for emotional complexity, Pippos examines the stories we tell ourselves, and the ways people handle grief, guilt and generational change. The Transformations is a novel about endings - of careers, relationships, illusions - and the chance of new beginnings.
