Woman with a Man Inside Shel Brødsgaard Fu brings the rich symbolismDescription Skeptical and feminist, funny and disturbing, Barbara Parkin's stories expose the truth about her characters' lives: some rugged, some pastoral, all humming with danger and beauty. Philipa struggles to define herself outside her mother's fantasy that she will marry royalty; Lena confronts the women who tormented her when they were girls; Joy looks all over for somewhere to call her own, and finds herself in the house of her childhood.
