Set in a distinctive Australian landscape, Call Me Marigold is a lyrical account of one woman's search for meaning from childhood to old age, across World War II, the social transformations of the 1950s-1980s, and the rise of feminism.
Writing from a posthumous perspective, the author explores her life in vignettes, textual fragments, and poems, shaped by war, pub life, anthropology, divorce, and mothering, resulting in a poignant yet unsentimental portrait of ageing.
At the heart of the story is a throughline conversation with mother-sometimes intimate, sometimes unresolved-that anchors this fearless reckoning with how extraordinary an ordinary life can be.
