Reviews for The Spare Room

• The Spare RoomBook rating: 5

  This is very well written and I have always found Garner's work of the highest quality. The prose is spare with never a wasted word but the author tends to give the impression that she has a rather bleak view of life. From the onset of this novel we know that Nola's situation fighting a terminal illness is one that offers little hope. However you would like that something positive might emerge for Helen apart from her obvious relief when Nola returned to Sydney. A worthwhile read on the topic of death and the care of the dying. by Jennifer Snell
