AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Memories of small town life in Australia in the 1950s, the critical events and great occasions that touched a nation and swept the world were sieved through a mesh of local goings-on. In that world a young girl tries to learn and find her way growing up in a small seaside town.' (Publication summary)

Notes

Dedication: For Kitty, Eric, Suzie and David in the hope that they will forgive all the lies I have told about them.
