The Season by Helen Garner
Helen Garner follows her grandson’s under‑16 Australian Rules football team across games and training in Melbourne, using close observation of the sidelines to explore family ties, the transition to adolescence and the communal drama of the sport. Warm, wry and spare, the book captures the thrill of team play and the quiet work of watching a boy become a young man—without revealing outcomes of matches or personal plot details.
