Kate Grenville
Nance was a week short of her sixth birthday when she and Frank were roused out of bed in the dark and lifted into the buggy, squashed in with bedding, the cooking pots rattling around in the back, and her mother shouting back towards the house, "Good-bye, Rothsay, I hope I never see you again!"
When Kate Grenville’s mother died, she left behind many fragments of memoir. These were the starting point for One Life, the story of a woman whose life spanned a century of tumult and change. In many ways Nance’s story echoes that of many mothers and grandmothers for whom the spectacular shifts of the 20th century offered a path to new freedoms and choices.
In other ways Nance was exceptional. In an era when women were expected to have no ambitions beyond the domestic, she ran successful businesses as a registered pharmacist, laid the bricks for the family home, and discovered her husband’s secret life as a revolutionary.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"A few sentences of Grenville’s makes one realise that much of the writing one encounters in a novel these days is thin and perfunctory." (The Daily Express)
"One Life is a treat further enhanced by a contemplative and intimate narration." (AudioFile)

Would you consider the audio edition of One Life to be better than the print version?
Yes. One couldn't really hear the passion without the narrator. Without a narrator, it'd be just words.What was one of the most memorable moments of One Life?
Not knowing love. And having to give up the pharmacy.Which character – as performed by Kate Grenville – was your favorite?
Nance.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No. Some of it got long and drawn out in places.Interesting and Informative
