Bath welcomes Australian author Michelle de Kretser with her seventh novel Theory and Practice, a mesmerising account of desire and jealousy, truth and shame. It explores the disharmony between our purported ideals and how we live, and examines motherhood and the flawed maternal figures who hold onto us, despite our attempts to distance ourselves

Michelle de Kretser was born in Sri Lanka and moved to Australia as a teenager. She has won multiple awards, including the 2023 Folio Prize and has twice won the Miles Franklin Award. She was longlisted for the Man Booker and Orange Prize. She lives in Sydney.
