It was first published by McPhee Gribble in 1980.[2][3] Garner's second published book, it was written while she lived in Paris, France.[4] Australian literary critic Peter Craven described Garner's second published work as "less vigorous perhaps than Monkey Grip, but showing greater artistry."[1][5] "Honour"Honour is about the relationship between two people, separated but still legally married and with a child of the marriage, their ongoing friendship, and the changes to relationship when the former husband re-partners.[2]"Other People's Children"Other People's Children is about the disruption and end of relationship between two women, Scotty and Ruth, who live in a collective household. Scotty loves Ruth's daughter "as only the childless can love other people's children". Into Scotty's life comes Madigan, "a great lump of a fellow with yellow eyes, who bunched his thick fingers together in front of him when he entered a room".[2]ReceptionHonour & Other People's Children was well received both in Australia and internationally. The book was released in the United States in April 1982 and received an enthusiastic review in The New York Times, where Carolyn See wrote: "Helen Garner's Australia is a land both bucolic and exotic, a land of junkies and wallabies, of women's rights and outdoor plumbing, of homeless children in a beneficent atmosphere, of people looking up at night to see a thousand stars, a land where they jump on their bikes and ride through the warm, grass-scented evening air down to public parks without the slightest thought of being mugged. In other words - though it may be a shamelessly provincial way of perceiving it - the Australian world we see here is America in a time warp."[6]References1. ^1 {{cite book|author=Peter Craven|title=The Oxford Guide to Contemporary Writing|publisher=Oxford University Press|editor=John Sturrock|year=1996|pages= 48|isbn=0-19-283318-9|url=https://www.questia.com/read/13655806?title=The%20Oxford%20Guide%20to%20Contemporary%20Writing|accessdate=12 February 2010}} {{Helen Garner}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Honour and Other People's Children}}{{story-collection-stub}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.penguin.com.au/lookinside/spotlight.cfm?SBN=9780143180050|title=Honour & Other People's Children Author: Helen Garner |publisher=Penguin Books Australia|accessdate=8 February 2010}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/2504216|title= Honour & Other people's children : two stories|publisher=National Library of Australia|accessdate=8 February 2010}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://lib-resources.unimelb.edu.au/UM-HISTORY/HistofUniBibliog.htm|title=UM-HISTORY/HistofUniBibliog|publisher=University of Melbourne|accessdate=11 February 2010|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100127071315/http://lib-resources.unimelb.edu.au/UM-HISTORY/HistofUniBibliog.htm|archivedate=27 January 2010|df=dmy-all}} 5. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.theaustralian.com.au/arts/review/helen-garners-honour-other-peoples-children-rich-and-nuanced/news-story/02162d50f550700190eb1be58053c778|title=Helen Garner's Honour & Other People's Children rich and nuanced|last=Sala|first=Michael|date=30 June 2018|work=The Australian|publisher=News Corp Australia|accessdate=9 August 2018}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Paradise, Australian style|work=The New York Times|date=4 April 1982|accessdate=10 February 2018|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1982/04/04/books/paradise-australian-style.html}} 2 : 1980 short story collections|Single-writer short story collections |
