All of It

A collection of witty and heartfelt essays about love, loss and ambition, from journalist and proud Gamilaroi woman Brooke Boney.

Brooke Boney has been in the public eye for well over a decade, first as a recognisable voice on triple j, and then as a recognisable face on The Today Show.

All of It draws us into her world, as she writes with honesty, humour and empathy about everything from the downsides of having a public profile to the joys of owning dogs, from the various forms of love that make up a life - romantic, familial, platonic - to how that love has been sustained through generations of colonisation and violence, and from the concerns that are a part of your early thirties - fertility, ageing, career progression - to discovering what's actually worth fighting for.

As a journalist, Brooke knows how to write a story, and these are her most personal stories yet.

'This book is warm, thoughtful and curious - just like Brooke.' MIRANDA TAPSELL

'A stunningly written meditation on fame, womanhood, Indigenous identity and the intersection of all three. Boney is an outstanding writer-every sentence is imbued with warmth and searing honesty . . . I can't recommend it highly enough.'
