In Elizabeth Smither’s Loving

Sylvie (Allen & Unwin, rrp $36.99), we are taken into the richly imagined worlds of three generations of women – Sylvie, her mother Madeleine and grandmother Isobel. The narrative shifts between the women in the three different cities of Auckland, Paris and Melbourne, telling their stories with gentle, deeply observant humour, through their love affairs, rivalries, marriages and all the beautiful minutiae of everyday life. The threads of the story are drawn together subtly and surprisingly to achieve a perfectly resolved conclusion.
