Growing up in a poor farming family in country New South Wales but clever, energetic, and determined, Dolly spent her restless life pushing at those doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost women like her have disappeared from view, remembered only in family photo albums as remote figures in impossible clothes, or maybe for a lemon-pudding recipe handed down through the generations. \u003cem\u003eRestless Dolly Maunder\u003c\/em\u003e brings one of these women to life as someone we can recognise and whose struggles we can empathise with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this compelling new novel, Kate Grenville uses family memories to imagine her way into the life of her grandmother. This is the story of a woman, working her way through a world of limits and obstacles, who was able—if at a cost—to make a life she could call her own. Her battles and triumphs helped to open doors for the women who came after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46532638179564,"sku":"9781922790330","price":45.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16314423482872.jpg?v=1749323147","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/restless-dolly-maunder-by-kate-grenville-9781922790330","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
