Elizabeth Harrower Death | Passed Away | Obituary
Elizabeth Harrower Death – Dead: A great loss was made known to InsideEko. As friends and families of the deceased are mourning the passing of their loved and cherished Elizabeth Harrower.
Having heard about this great loss, the family of this individual is passing through pains, mourning the unexpected passing of their beloved.
This departure was confirmed through social media posts made by Twitter users who pour out tributes, and condolences to the family of the deceased.
“I don’t know anybody who knows I’m a writer.” That was Elizabeth Harrower’s no-nonsense assessment of her literary career in 2012. She was soon to be proven wrong.
In the near-decade that followed that verdict, Harrower, who died on Tuesday July 7, aged 92, became one of Australia’s most important writers, here and overseas. And she did so without writing another word.
This beautiful obituary made me wish I’d met Elizabeth Harrower. Condolences to all who loved her. (These words hit me over the head with a club, just now: ‘Yet really, apart from the sensation of irretrievable loss, there was nothing wrong at all.’)

It is with sadness that I bring the news that Elizabeth Harrower (1928-2020) has died today in Sydney. Until Text Publishing began reissuing her novels in their Text Classics series, most of us had never heard of Elizabeth Harrower, and yet her writing was greatly admired by notable authors such as Christina Stead and Patrick White. She had published four novels from 1957 to 1966, but then, by her own choice, her work lapsed into obscurity after she withdrew her last novel from publication shortly after her mother died.
RIP Elizabeth Harrower, one of the great Sydney novelists. This paragraph from The Watch Tower is one of my favorites ever written about a certain kind of Sydney childhood feeling.
