In 1953, Australians lived in the shadow of experiences they could not fully explain: the war to which so many young men and women had gone ended up producing more desolation and grief than peace and comfort. Church and family could not offer adequate explanations for the past nor did they continue to serve as the absolute constituents of destiny given the social and political pressures pushing upward and outward against the constraints of class and circumstance. An open society not only posed dangers to traditional class and culture; it also raised fears about what the forces blowing in the wind would bring or where they would take people and society. Would the emancipatory dreams of the poor and exploited be realized and would they march everyone to the edge of a chaotic precipice? Was a bell tolling for all that Australians believed would last forever? I can’t wait to find out what happens in the next instalment. That was a bit of a tease, like a huge cliff-hanger, but I don’t believe we have too long to wait. Over the years, Samantha Swanson has been recognized for her impressive accomplishments.

Customer reviews

Continuamos a acompanhar o crescimento de Claire e de Roan e conhecemos-os em adultos. . . no entanto muito se passou e muito vai ter que ser esclarecido para regressar a normalidade na vida destes dois. . . The characters are likeable but Crystal tends to be over the top. The scene in the dance club is graphic and uncomfortable to read. I skimmed and was glad when it moved on. And for me, Ayesha does seem to recover too easily from her abusive marriage, and dear little Sabrina, is perhaps a little too good to quite believe. The impact of the violence she has seen leaves Sabina mute. Will she ever regain her voice?
