The Spare Room by Helen Garner

This is the story of a friendship between two women. It is the story of what happens to each of them during a difficult time. It is the story of commitment and destruction, of hope and despair, of fortitude and weakness, of fondness and something less.

How resilient would we be when faced with tremendously difficult odds affecting someone that we care a great deal about? This story covers it all, the rage, hurt, anger and deep intimacy between long time friends.

It is a short book, but well worth the read.
