Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Shy.It's a shy word, a timid little word that begs to remain unnoticed. Only three letters long, and itbegins with an exhortation to silence. Shhh. Reserved is different. It's for tall men with juttingjaws. Prime ministers can appear reserved- never shy. Restrained carries itself with dignity.Even introvert has a whiff of authority about it- these people have been tested; Myers and Briggshave awarded them an impressive three-syllable psychological label. But with shy there's noauthority, no control. It's a blushing, hunching word; a nervous, knock-kneed, wallflower word. Aword for children, not grown-ups, because surely grown-ups grow out of shyness. Don't they?Sian Prior has maintained a career in the public eye, as a broadcaster and performer, for morethan twenty years. For far longer than that she has suffered from excruciating shyness.Eventually, after bolting from a party in a state of near-panic, she decides to investigate hercondition. What is it-shyness? Where did hers come from? Why does it create such distressingturmoil beneath her assured professional front?As Sian begins to research the science of social anxiety, other factors present themselves asfacets of the problem. Family, intimate friendships, self-perception and fear and longing and theconsequences of love. While, in counterpoint, there is the security, the sense of belonging, shefinds in the life she shares with Tom, her famous partner. Until he tells her he is leaving.Shy- A Memoir-frank, provocative, remarkable in its clarity and beautifully written-is a bookabout unease- about questioning who you are and evading the answer. It is about grief, andabandonment and loss. It is about how the simple word shy belies the complex reality of whatthat really means.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. I always wanted to have children. The earth might be in troubleoverpopulated, descending into ecological crisisbut I was always sure my kids would help make the world a better place. I would be a green-feminist supermum, having it all. Nothing turned out the way I expected. Like many women, Sian Prior arrived at the point where she was ready to start having babiesand found they were not hers to have. Three miscarriages with a supportive partner; a new partner who already had all the children he wanted; step-children; step-grandchildren; the decision to parent solo, followed by many rounds of fertility treatments. After all this Sian found herself, at fifty, childless and coming to terms. Weighing up the freedoms against the losses. Dealing with the unacknowledged legacy of her own lost father. Observing parenthood itselfhow we succeed at it and how we failfrom a perspective outside the trenches. Compelling, moving, beautifully written and unexpectedly uplifting, Childless is her story. A compelling, personal and fearless examination of a life lived without children of ones own, from Melbourne writer, broadcaster and journalist Sian Prior.
