'"Civilization is mad and getting madder every day".
'So says Shannon Hicks in Kylie Tennant's marvellous, harsh, satiric 1943 novel. Arriving in Sydney just before WWII, Shannon, a dreamer and idealist takes on the world of politics, business, religion and men.
'The consequences are challenging and unpredictable.'
