Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Foxing to half-title page and top and right foredges.

This account by Penelope Hetherington of the lives of her parents, Ron and Liza Loveday, combines family history with political biography. The analysis of family origins, marriage, and family patterns is one of the major themes.

The Lovedays made several unsuccessful attempts to secure an independent livelihood for themselves, including eight years during the Depression on a marginal wheat farm in South Australia, before Ron joined the industrial workforce in Whyalla in 1938.

The final chapters deal with his experiences as the MP for Whyalla from 1956 to 1970 and as the South Australian Minister for Education from 1965 to 1968. (back cover)
