One Life is an act of great imaginative sympathy, a daughter’s intimate account of the patterns in her mother’s life. It is a deeply moving homage by one of Australia’s finest writers.

Born to an unhappy marriage and into a deeply sexist society, Nance Russell worked hard for everything she had, and while the world changed around her, she went on to university, to opening businesses and raising a family. One Life is Nance’s story – and many other women’s too – beautifully captured by her daughter, the bestselling novelist Kate Grenville. Grenville draws on the tales passed down to her to create an evocative portrait of life in 20th century rural Australia, and a deeply intimate and caring homage to a mother.

'A few sentences of Grenville’s makes one realise that much of the writing one encounters in a novel these days is thin and perfunctory.'
The Daily Express

'Clear, authentic and utterly engaging . . . it is as successful as it is authentic'
The Independent

'[Grenville] is a gift of a writer.'
The Age

'What a difficult thing it must have been to write, but what a treasure [Grenville] has given us ... Evocative and fascinating, this brave and heartfelt tribute will appeal to anyone interested in their own family story, Australian history, or the lives of women.'
