Why read it?
1 author picked Yellow Notebook as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is the diary Australian writer Helen Garner kept during a difficult period of her life: the period when she was married to (and eventually separated from) her third husband.

From Alice's list on women in the chaos of midlife.
