In this fast paced, often hilarious memoir, Brooks shares her childhood memories of growing up in rural Australia in the Fifties and Sixties. This tightly woven collection of stories contains the warm and poignant reminiscences of a curious child fascinated by the world and its people, having a joyous passion for life, and an irrepressible thirst for answers. With fearless, self deprecating humour, Brooks pares back the layers of family life, taking us on a rare journey of self discovery.
