Publisher: Melbourne : Scribe, 2019
Annotation:
Invented Lives is a character-driven story about love, exile and family secrets. It is the mid-1980s when Galina Kogan leaves the Soviet Union for a new life in Australia. Once settled in Melbourne, she meets and forms a deep relationship with the elderly Morrows and their son Andrew, who has fallen for her. But her presence in their lives creates a ripple effect that will leave all of them irrevocably changed.
Goldsmith writes of 1980s Melbourne with detailed nostalgia and produces what the Sydney Morning Herald's Louise Swinn describes as “a unique story that feels universal”.
