  <default_description>Faith isn't so different from most women her age; she's thirty-two, single, has the requisite dysfunctional family, an even more dysfunctional best friend, a busy and challenging job, and in her weaker moments dreams of perhaps oneday meeting a man who will ignite her senses and take her away from all this. 

The trouble is, while she aches to see the good in the world, Faith is constantly confronted by the bad. After having heard one too many love-gone-wrong stories and being left feeling helpless in the aftermath of yet another woman fleeing yet another violent man, Faith, a legal counsellor in a women's crisis centre, has just about given up. Not just on the big ideas like hope, love and trust, but even on the chance of getting a decent haircut or meeting an ordinary, non-psychotic bloke.

One night, though, a random act of fate finds Faith wringing out years of unshed tears in a suburban veterinary clinic. It is a night that will slowly change the way Faith sees herself. A night when she will finally begin to understand what she has always needed to know: that before you can save others you have to save yourself.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Things Without A Name, the latest novel from Joanne Fedler, is an absorbing read. At the heart of the story is Faith, who is a vividly evoked, extremely troubled, quirky character who works as a legal counsellor in a women’s crisis centre. She is a passionate animal-loving vegetarian who cuts hers...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57037472">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Loved this book.  This book has the first character I have ever encountered who is as cynical as me.  A great exploration of the things we tend to see best, when our eyes are closed.  This book is a study of love in both its ugliest and most beautiful manifestations.]]></body>
