Book Description
Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has some light creasing at edges and spine. Small tear at spine top. Interior and binding are also very good.
Against Time and Place is a highly imaginative and well-crafted recreation of a family history that transcends the particular to become a fascinating microcosm of British migration and settlement in Australia.
The lives of members of the Booth and Backhouse families unfold against a rich backdrop of places and events, including the coal mines and tenant farms of Yorkshire, the First World War and the Russian Revolution; the gold rushes, pioneering the Wheatbelt and small-town life of Western Australia; the Great Depression; the Second World War and its aftermath.
