Description: We are Australian. We are anyone who has lived in Australia: the migrant family next door; Vietnamese mother who quietly talks of three weeks at sea in a small boat; the aunt who tells of being late for late for Nanna's funeral because everyone followed Cousin George in the wrong direction. These are our stories; our country's living history.
Brief description: Linda Brooks lives in Adelaide. She gained the attention of a publisher when her short stories found critical acclaim on the ABC website, 'The Making of Modern Australia' and her first published book resulted, A Curious & Inelegant Childhood, a memoir of growing up in rural Australia.
