Bob Carr: Bring Back Yesterday

Bob Carr: Bring Back YesterdayBob Carr: Bring Back Yesterday

A powerful love story and grief memoir from one of Australia's most respected public figures.

Former New South Wales premier Bob Carr speaks candidly about love, loss and the partnership that shaped his life, in conversation with journalist Alex Sloan, as he discusses his deeply personal memoir Bring Back Yesterday.

Written with honesty and emotional clarity, Carr's memoir chronicles one of the darkest periods of his life following the death of his wife, Helena. It is an unflinching account of grief, and a testament to resilience, tenderness and the defiant hope that emerges even in profound loss.

Bring Back Yesterday is, at its heart, a love story: an intimate portrait of a long marriage, and of an author finding his footing again after devastating loss.

Raw, reflective and deeply moving, Carr's insights will resonate with anyone who has loved deeply, shared a life with another, or experienced the ache of grief.

Join Bob Carr in conversation with Alex Sloan for a poignant discussion on love, loss, and the courage it takes to carry on.
