Mallee Roots by Helen Tuffin

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Some fading to front cover near spine.

This diary of a schoolteachers' wife, from the commencement of her married life at a small southwest school in 1932 through to her husband's retirement in 1971 has all the qualities of a gentle novel. The reader inevitably becomes involved in the personal life of the little family as it increases and moves from one school to another.

A delightful story, set against a backdrop of detailed descriptions of the country towns and communities in the South West and Wheatbelt towns of Western Australia. Towns mentioned include Group Settlement 123 Hillbrook, Mukinbudin, Westonia, Nukari, Bullaring, Bruce Rock, Big Bell, Northam, Albany, Toodyay and Collie.
