These screenplays—The Last Days of Chez Nous, directed by Gillian Armstrong in 1992, and Two Friends, by Jane Campion in 1986—are sharp observations of relationships and friendships, home and family life, cut with Helen Garner's trademark humour.

As intimate and engrossing as Garner's widely acclaimed novels and non-fiction (including 2015's critically-acclaimed This House of Grief), they show the range of one of Australia's greatest writers.
