1 1 y separately published work icon Jenny's Coffee House : After Yenni Eugenia Jenny Williams , Yarraville : Transit Lounge , 2009 Z1580223 2009 single work autobiography 'In May 1969 seven assisted migrants stepped out of the plane that had touched down in a strange place called Hobart. Jenny Williams, the author of Yenni, was one of those adults. From this time on little of what Jenny and her family knew was of any use to them. Like newborns they had to learn to exist in a different world. From factory to restaurant work, to new relationships, Jenny's Coffee House takes the reader into the rich heart of a hard working family searching for their niche in life. Full of the drama and humour of a life fully lived (love, disappointment, separation and triumph), this is an evocative and compelling book. Much like the author herself, Jenny's Coffee House is inspiring, honest and real. Hobart shimmers and enchants, Europe is never far away, while Jenny welcomes us all like best friends into her world.' (Publisher's abstract)
1 1 y separately published work icon Yenni : A Life Between Worlds Eugenia Jenny Williams , Annandale : Pluto Press , 2002 Z1052372 2002 single work novel 'Yenni is an autobiographical novel about growing up, learning, taking charge of an ordinary person in extraordinary circumstances, with a happy ending. It talks about the Second World War, liberation, shifting borders, clashes of cultures and ideologies, occupation, illegal escape and emigration. It tells about countries, their culture, tradition, the way of life, which is unknown to technically developed West. But it also talks about Yenni's private struggle with the regime and her marriage.' (Tasmanian Writers Centre website : http://www.tasmanianwriters.org/tasbooks.htm sighted 27/01/2004)
