The Life and Myth of Charmian Clift — Nadia Wheatley
NewSouth — Paperback.
Biographer and social historian Nadia Wheatley explores the complex relationship between the myth and reality of Charmian Clift’s life. She also creates a vivid picture of places and times in which her subject lived — whether it be small-town Australia in the 1930s, wartime Melbourne in the 1940s, London and Greece in the 1950s, or Australia during the 1960s.
Meticulously researched, beautifully written and highly readable, The Life and Myth of Charmian Clift provides a portrait of an immensely talented woman, and the unique literary partnership she shared with George Johnston.
Described by critic Peter Craven as ‘one of the great Australian biographies’, The Life and Myth of Charmian Clift was the Age Non-Fiction Book of the Year 2001 and won the NSW Premier’s Australian History Prize 2002.
