Chosen family
Gray, Madeleine, 1994-2025
Book
Nell Argall and Eve Bowman are both brilliant, odd and friendless. On meeting in their traumatising first year of high school, their lives are changed forever. Set in Sydney over eighteen years, Chosen Family follows Nell and Eve as they grow into themselves, as they both love and destroy each other. From school to university, to careers, to motherhood, Nell's and Eve's is a relationship that is a life raft that is also a poison apple that is also a Medusan stare, frozen in time. Together, Nell and Eve are a double helix. Love, guilt, shame, joy - these emotions twist and turn between them. Can the wounds of adolescent betrayal ever really heal? Can we ever really understand what is going on in someone else's head? And what's love got to do, got to do with it?
