Broken Girl: A true story

‘Harrowing, yet ultimately hopeful’ GERALDINE BROOKS



Sometimes the whole truth is the death of everything.



Caroline Laner Breure was on holiday in Spain with her boyfriend when her skull was crushed.



A year later, following starless months in a coma and painful rehabilitation, Caroline returned to her beachside apartment in Sydney, only to ?nd that her home was not her home, her lover was not her lover and her friends were not her friends. Everyone and everything she’d loved had vanished.



Physically broken and no longer able to trust her own mind, she painstakingly searched for clues to explain the cruel disparity between her past and present.



This is the true story of how Caroline solved her own mystery and reclaimed her life.



A jagged and luminous survivor’s account and a de?ant celebration of imperfection, Broken Girl is a powerful and poetic work of staggering loss and betrayal, ?erce beauty, dark humour, love and rage.
