| Description |
An epic story that spans the middle of the 20th century and aches with love and joy and the shadows of despair, confusion and fear. Above all, it is a quintessentially Australian story about family, inclusion and reconciliation, and suggests a way that white Australians may finally have found for living on this ancient continent. |
