Description
Isobel On The Way To The Corner Shop by Amy Witting tells the compelling story of Isobel Callaghan, a writer struggling to build her career in Sydney. Isobel finds herself isolated, impoverished, and hungry, plagued by the fear that she is losing her mind.
During a breakdown on her way to the corner shop, Isobel ends up in the hospital. There, she learns she will be sent to a sanatorium in the Blue Mountains. Among a diverse group of patients and with the help of great works of literature, Isobel confronts the horrors of her past.
This novel explores whether Isobel can ultimately find a way to face the future and overcome her personal demons.
