review 1: This story will resonate with anyone who has skeletons threatening to burst free from the family closet! Judy Nunn makes excellent use of the enduring theme of time and place to tell the story of the Durham family across almost 100 years. The narrative also cleverly incorporates several key events in Australian history and society. This is brilliant novel about love and loss, family, the deception of appearances, and change.
review 2: An easy summer holiday read with an interesting and factual background of Australian history. however I felt it got a little bogged down at times and preachy about Australia's history of social injustices. I enjoyed the way the author blended the stories of the current generation with the past through the diaries of the great gran... moredmother. There are some good issues to promote discussion in a bookclub. less
