DESCRIPTION:Discuss a true crime book. This month we are discussing\, "Thi
 s House of Grief: The Story of a Murder Trial" by Helen Garner. \n.\nhttps

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>"On the evening of Father&rsquo\;s Day\, 2
 005\, separated husband Robert Farquharson was driving his three young son
 s back to their mom&rsquo\;s house when the car veered off the road and pl
 unged into a dam. Farquharson survived the crash\, but his boys drowned. W
 as this a tragic accident\, or an act of revenge? The court case that foll
 owed became a national obsession&mdash\;a macabre parade of witnesses\, fa
 mily members\, and the defendant himself\, each forced to relive the unthi
 nkable for an audience of millions. In This House of Grief\, celebrated wr
 iter Helen Garner tells the definitive and deeply absorbing story of it al
 l\, from crash to final verdict. Through a panoply of perspectives\, inclu
 ding her own as a member of the public\, Garner captures the exacting proc
 edure and brutal spectacle of Australia&rsquo\;s criminal justice system. 
 The result is a richly textured portrait&mdash\;of a man and his broken li
 fe\, of a community wracked by tragedy\, and of the long and torturous roa
 d to closure. Considered a literary institution in Australia\, Helen Garne
 r&rsquo\;s incisive nonfiction evokes the keen eye of the New Journalists.
  Brisk\, candid\, and never dismissive of its flawed subjects\, This House
  of Grief is a masterwork of literary journalism." - Penguin Random House.
