Written with passion and style, this is both a social history and an intensely personal account of growing up in Australia. Shirley Walker celebrates the sensual sights and perfumes of the northern NSW landscape, and the punishing splendour of Queensland's Burdekin region.
These extraordinary stories of the pioneering struggles and deep religious conflicts in four generations of Walker's family show the insularity of small towns and the profound impact of two world wars on Australian lives.
