The novel, Another Song About Love accompanies the fifteen songs available on bandcamp in both digital download and CD.
The novel is a fictional memoir that opens in the burgeoning music scene of 1980s Melbourne, when Lillie Bloom and her friends, Wendy and Anna, form a rock band. It’s a time when roles for women are undergoing great change and ideals of romantic love and the nuclear family are being challenged. Determined to find success in her chosen career, Lillie juggles her music career, her love life and being a mother to her son, Jesse. As the wheels of the music industry churn through her life, the love of friends and family, and especially her son, helps Lillie survive a difficult journey through sex, drugs and rock and roll.
With the sexism of the global entertainment industry being questioned once again, and the #MeToo movement gaining international traction, Lillie Bloom’s grit and determination in ‘Another Song About Love’ is a timely testament to the strength and resilience women have needed in order to succeed in the music industry.
