At IF HQ we’ve been busy reading Susan Johnson’s memoir, Aphrodite’s Breath. A great Australian story set on the Greek Island of Kythira. We love this book so much that we want to share it with you, because we’d love to see it on the big screen!
The industry thinks so too with Aphrodite’s Breath one of just two English-language titles selected for the prestigious Cannes Film Festival’s Shoot the Book! initiative.
So, for a limited time, IF is offering new annual Individual/Executive premium content subscribers a free copy of the Susan Johnson’s memoir Aphrodite’s Breath, courtesy of us!
Johnson’s work has been longlisted for the Miles Franklin Literary Award, the Dublin IMPAC Literary Award and shortlisted for the Queensland Premier’s Prize, the Voss Literary Prize, the Christina Stead Award, the National Biography Award and the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize.
What the critics say:
“Brave and beautiful.” – Sydney Morning Herald

“An awe-inspiring ability to explore emotional truths.” – Daily Advertiser
“With fine control, Johnson allows us to travel close to her emotional skin…Aphrodite’s Breath is their shared gift to us, in all its shades of luminous and deep dark blue.” –The Guardian
