Theory & Practice by Michelle de Kretser
In late-1980s Melbourne, a first-generation Sri Lankan woman looks back on her graduate-student years as she copes with a painful breakup and a new attraction to Kit, who is in a complicated relationship with Olivia. Wrestling with jealousy, feminist principles and her admiration for Virginia Woolf, she confronts how personal desires can conflict with political and moral beliefs. The novel blends fiction and essay to quietly explore identity, longing and ethical ambiguity.
