Book Description
Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.
Between the publication of The Home Girls in 1982 and her death, Olga Masters was acclaimed as one of Australia's finest writers. Her short stories, distinguished by their acute observation of human behaviour, drew comparisons with the finest exponents of the form, such as Chekhov.
The Home Girls is a collection of candid, witty stories about rural and suburban life. These tales of ordinary people and domestic life are set in the mid-twentieth century. Masters was, as the Advertiser remarked, 'a natural storyteller'.
