Synopsis

Katie Mitchell is a well brought up Catholic girl in the dark ages of the nineteen fifties. Her father loves her very much. Her mother values piety and chastity above all. This is a brave and funny novel about falling rapturously in love and being condemned for it; about wakening sensibility and constraint, and about finding oneself growing up in spite of the voices that say 'no'. Initially published by Penguin in 1987, this Australian classic is being re-published as a 20th Anniversary celebration. ".Beyond redemption is one of our truly great novels. It moved me deeply and I shall never forget it." Alex Miller Miles Franklin and Commonwealth Writer's Prize winner.
