Description:
It is the mid-1980s. In Australia, stay-at-home wives jostle with want-it-all feminists, while AIDS threatens the sexual freedom of everyone. On the other side of the world, the Soviet bloc is in turmoil.

Mikhail Gorbachev has been in power for a year when twenty-four-year-old book illustrator Galina Kogan leaves Leningrad - forbidden ever to return. As a Jew, she's inherited several generations worth of Russia's chronic anti-Semitism. As a Soviet citizen, she is unprepared for Australia and its easy-going ways.

Once settled in Melbourne, Galina is befriended by Sylvie and Leonard Morrow, and their adult son, Andrew. The Morrow marriage of thirty years balances on secrets. Leonard is a man with conflicted desires and passions, while Sylvie chafes against the confines of domestic life. Their son, Andrew, a successful mosaicist, is a deeply shy man. He is content with his life and work - until he finds himself increasingly drawn to Galina.

While Galina grapples with the tumultuous demands that come with being an immigrant in Australia, her presence disrupts the lives of each of the Morrows. No one is left unchanged.

Invented Lives tells a story of exile- exile from country, exile at home, and exile from one's true self.

It is also a story about love.


'Goldsmith is a masterful storyteller who explores the complex themes of identity and love in her latest novel. Invented Lives deserves a wide audience.'
-Mark Rubbo, Readings Booksellers

'It is a fabulous book ... It lives on ...What I really loved was the changing seasons of all the characters, their inner beings,

Leaves skin clean and soft
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Leaves skin clean and soft and much to my surprise did not make my skin break out even though more traditional cleansers often do. This is a really nice product, better than more expensive department store brands I've tried.

Amazing product that I continue to order again and again!
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Amazing product that I continue to order again and again! I love the formula of this product! It is perfect for using as a first wash to gently remove makeup or dirt build up before washing with another cleanser. It is great for people with dry skin or if you wear a lot of powder makeup or powder on top of foundation, and it is great for removing mascara and heavy eye makeup as well. It is great for sensitive skin, and I feel like it is super gentle & made with clean ingredients. Bioderma is a brand I trust, and this is a product I will continue to restock!

On My 5th Bottle – That Says It All
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my fifth bottle of Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Cleansing Oil, and that alone should say how much I love it. It removes makeup effortlessly, including stubborn mascara and long-wear products, without irritating my skin. The formula feels gentle and nourishing, not heavy or greasy. It rinses clean and leaves my skin feeling soft and balanced rather than stripped. I appreciate that it works well even on sensitive skin and doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts. It has become a staple in my routine, and I keep repurchasing because it consistently delivers. Highly recommend if you want an effective yet gentle cleansing oil that truly works.

Ideal for double cleansing
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Removes makeup and sunscreen just fine, although it doesn’t remove my nyx eyeliner. Does not foam, turns into a milky texture. Leaves a slignt oil film over the skin after removing with water, warm water seems to remove it a little better. I don’t mind too much since it’s the first step to my nightly double cleanse, I go over with another cleanser after. I like that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight after.
