Josie's mother is a factory machinist, bringing home piecework to keep the family afloat. And Josie is surviving, or notselfdestructive sex, excessive alcohol, drugs, brutalised friendships. But her internal monologueintense, immediate and rawreveals a heartbreaking portrait of an intelligent young woman desperately looking for a way to make sense of her life, grappling with her feelings of repulsion and love for her father and her longing to be loved. First published in 1998, Losing It is a vivid and visceral account of 1980s workingclass Melbourne and a comingofage story that is both familiar and unique, shocking and intimate.
