This is the story of fifteen years in which a small independent company was a seminal force in Australian publishing. From McPhee Gribble came many new writers, and fleetingly, the hope that an Australian company could become a fully fledged player in the international publishing industry. It is the story of a friendship between two women. Two strong, 'difficult' women who created a company with a unique way of working which at once mirrored its times and changed them, and which, though it did not survive, left its mark deep in the culture.
