{"product_id":"monkey-grip-helen-garner","title":"Monkey Grip - Helen Garner","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSet in inner-city Melbourne in the late 70s, this is a book about wanting someone who won’t (can’t) give you what you need, and staying anyway. The days drift between share houses, childcare, heroin, parties, and long, circular conversations...love and dependency tangled so tightly they’re hard to tell apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eGarner writes with startling immediacy: sharp, intimate, unsentimental. There’s no moralising here, no neat arc...attachment, desire, and the quiet exhaustion of trying to hold things together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRaw, alive, and deeply human.
