Cleave by Nikki Gemmell, ISBN 9780091837327

> Fiction Books > Literature Books

Snip freeman is a painter with a waitressing problem, a wanderer in search of her past. She'll visit a place, find a man and a studio and a scrap of a job, until the zing of uncertainty pulls her on. She is anchored nowhere, touches the earth lightly. Then she turns her back on a drowning man. And suddenly she has a reason to stay put...

Taking up 'Shiver's' theme of women in tough places, 'Cleave' moves from a desert of ice to a desert of sand, where Nikki Gemmell spins a web of love, sex and betrayal. 'Cleave' illuminates the troubled relationship between wandering and settling, belonging and freedom, parents and children, partners and lovers; between white Australia and black Australia, secretive silences and the truth. It is a novel of great power and lyricism.

About the Author: Nikki Gemmell

Nikki Gemmell (born 1966) is an Australian author, best known for anonymously writing the best-selling erotic novel The Bride Stripped Bare. Gemmell was born in Wollongong, New South Wales. She has worked as a radio journalist for ABC Radio in Sydney, New South Wales, Darwin, Northern Territory, Alice Springs, Northern Territory, at Triple J, the ABC's youth network and as a producer for the BBC World Service.
She wrote three novels: Shiver, Cleave and Love Song, before the 2003 publication of The Bride Stripped Bare, which became an international bestseller. Although published anonymously, Gemmell was soon identified as the author. Gemmell's searching narratives have led the French to compare her to hail her as a "female Jack Kerouac"; critics in the United States have hailed her as one of the few truly original literary voices to emerge in a long time. The influential Francophone literary journal Lire included her in a list of the 50 international writers it believes will have "a significant influence on the literature of the 21st century". The writers - selected by a group of editors - were chosen for their "originality of subject", "individual voice" and "unmistakeable style".
