COMP CLOSED: WIN ‘Diving, Falling’ by Kylie Mirmohamadi

This week, we're giving away three copies of Diving, Falling by Kylie Mirmohamadi. This compelling novel explores the journey of Leila Whittaker, a woman who has long sacrificed her own desires for the sake of her family's harmony. Set against the backdrop of Australia's art world, it's a story of personal awakening, rediscovered passion, and the courage to rewrite one's own narrative. Here's the blurb:

It’s never too late to rewrite your own story.

For years, Leila Whittaker has been the mediator in her family. She smoothes ruffled feathers between her sons; endures the volatile moods of their father, the acclaimed Australian artist Ken Black; and even swallows the bitter pill of Ken’s endless affairs. All this, for the quiet hum of creative freedom her marriage provides. Or so she tells herself.

When Ken dies, leaving his artist’s estate to their two sons, and the pointed amount of sixty-nine thousand dollars to his muse, Anita, Leila decides she’s had enough. It’s time to seek some peace (and pleasure) of her own …

Diving, Falling is an elegant, exhilarating journey through grief, betrayal, and the intoxicating rediscovery of joy. Ripe with wickedly wry observations, unashamedly bold and sexy, it examines the calculations and sacrifices women make to keep the peace, escape their pasts, and find the agency to pursue their own passions.
