A Constant Hum by Alice Bishop - $9It’ll all b

A Constant Hum by Alice Bishop - $9It’ll all be okay, my mother said, and I remember the way her familiar face scrunched, afterwards-reflected back at me, in the fogged bathroom mirror, when she thought I couldn’t see. A Constant Hum grapples with the aftermath of bushfire with an eye for the telling detail. Some of these stories cut to the bone; others are empathetic tales of survival, even hope.Take it home today from PLB: https://prelovedbookshop.com.au/book/a-constant-hum/
