A good one for readers interested in migrant writing, Western Australian literature, postwar Greek-Australian experience, small-press Australian fiction, and books where domestic detail quietly opens into history. Humpies, paddocks, family obligations, old countries, new light: the whole thing has that slightly brutal tenderness of people trying to survive without ever being allowed to call it survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"944\" data-end=\"1327\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst edition paperback.
