Beschreibung

When a frustrated young writer stumbles across an elderly woman at a Melbourne pool, he realises the scoop of a lifetime is right in front of him — the woman is the reclusive cult author Brenda Shales, whose disappearance from the public eye remains one of Australia’s last unsolved literary mysteries. He’s determined to pursue her, to discover what happened to her all those years ago, and to possibly fulfil his dreams of stardom through a tell-all biography. But a case of mistaken identity and Brenda’s own terrible secrets begin to derail his ambitions, and ultimately, his entire life.

From brilliant debut novelist Dominic Amerena, I Want Everything is a wickedly sharp story of desire and deception, authorship and authenticity, and the devastating costs of creative ambition.
