Elizabeth Harrower (born 1928 in Sydney, Australia) is an Australian novelist and short story writer.
(from Wikipedia)
Elizabeth Harrower is regarded as one of Australia's most important postwar writers, and is enjoying a recent literary revival. Born in Sydney in 1928, her first novel, Down in the City, was published in 1957 and was followed by The Long Prospect (1958) and The Catherine Wheel (1960). Her most well-known work, The Watch Tower, was published in 1966 to huge acclaim. Four years later she finished In Certain Circles , but withdrew it before publication for reasons she has never publicly spoken of. The manuscript was rediscovered recently by her publisher who felt it should be published immediately. Harrower has since received rave reviews, including comparisons with Emile Zola and F Scott Fitzgerald.

Stan had seldom seen Esther cry, and her tears had never gratified him more. They put her in the wrong, made his defection very understandable. At the same time, he complained, 'So this is the high-and-mighty thing I married!'
Esther Prescott has seen little of the world outside her family's Rose Bay mansion - until flashy Stan Peterson barges up the drive and into her life. Within a fortnight they are sharing his Kings Cross flat. Esther tries desperately to please him, but Stan - moody, manipulative, cruel - is bitterly resentful of her privilege.
First published in 1957, Down in the City announced Elizabeth Harrower as a major Australian writer. With an introduction by Delia Falconer.
