This House Of Grief
A separated husband's car plunged into a dam, killing his sons. Accident? Revenge? Garner takes the reader inside the courtroom.
Critically-acclaimed true crime from the author of The First Stone (Picador, 2007), The Spare Room (Canongate, 2008) and Cosmo Cosmolino (Text, 2013).
On the evening of the 4th September 2005, Robert Farquharson, a separated husband, was driving his three sons home to their mother when his car left the road and plunged into a dam. The boys, aged ten, seven and two, drowned. Was this an act of revenge or a tragic accident?
In a tale reminiscent of In Cold Blood (1966), Helen Garner uncovers every aspect of this complicated and highly emotional case in This House of Grief.
