Half a Lifetime is a passionate and honest autobiography by one of Australia's greatest living writers. In her steely, sensuous prose, Judith Wright recounts the vanished pastoral world she grew up in. She tells the story of her growth as woman and poet, as lover and mother. And she describes her emerging commitment to the environment, the rights of Aboriginal people and the possibility of leading a just and responsible life. This luminous book includes a number of Wright's best-loved poems and many evocative family photographs.
