'Thirty years after leaving his home in the Lake District of England for life in Australia, Mark MacLean gathers together the remnants of his youthful possessions and ships them back to Australia.
'Five Boxes is the hilarious tale of unpacking those boxes of stuff: a story of lame trophies, mismatched collections, medieval dentistry, boring diaries, the village haircut, mopeds and submarines, school wine-tasting trips, politics, punk music and big sisters. But, mostly, this is a story of finding yourself.' (Publication summary)
