AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'What happens when the daughter you thought you would never see again turns up twenty years later? Dania's arrival at Splashes Caravan Park in search of her mother forces the novel's loveable characters to face the reality of their lives and to come to terms with the nature of regret.' (Publisher's blurb)

Notes

  • An earlier version of Vinyl Inside was commended in the 2003 Australian Vogel awards.
  • Dedication: During the hard times of the 1930s Depression, my great grandparents Violet and Jim Matthews owned a grocery store in Culcairn, NSW. The business folded because Violet continually gave foof to people who were struggling and couldn't afford to pay.

    This spirit of generosity lives very much in my parents, Brian and Val and brother John. This book is dedicated to them with love.

    And to Mark and Dillon, the centre of things.
