AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'My father has large hands. When he collects me from the 12.52 Wendouree train, he places one on my side and twists to kiss me whiskery on my cheek, wet from horizontal rain between the platform and car. Papi's hands are muscular, calloused, thick. They appear damaged but I know, of everything on his body, they're probably the least.' (Introduction)
