The Life To Come by Michelle de Kretser
A sly, polyphonic portrait of contemporary Australia, following an ambitious, self-inventing writer and those around her—their friendships, loves, and migrations—as they navigate privilege, insecurity, and the stories they tell about the future. Through linked episodes set in Sydney, with detours to Paris and Sri Lanka, it satirically explores belonging, cultural mythmaking, and the painful gap between imagined lives and the realities they inhabit.
