She brings into his world her loose-living musician boyfriend, Philip, and her seventeen-year-old sister, Vicki.And all at once, the bonds that hold the Fox family together begin to fray.Helen Garner's perfectly formed novels embody Melbourne's tumultuous 1970s and 1980s. Drawn on a small canvas and with a subtle musical backdrop, The Children's Bach is a beloved work that weighs the burdens of commitment against the costs of liberation.A W&N Essential
