This book deals mainly with McInnes's schooldays and culminates with his mother's permanent departure for England in 1930. It is both a sociological study of Melbourne in the 1920s and a vivid re-creation of the joys and fears, humiliations and enthusiasms of childhood. Particularly striking are his portraits of his mother and stepfather, and the intimate, detailed picture of the family's daily life in suburban Malvern.
