A Curious & Inelegant Childhood: An Australian Story (Studies in Macroeconomic History)

In this fast paced, often hilarious memoir, Linda 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 insightful 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, Linda pares back the layers of family life and takes us on a rare journey of self discovery. ‘If we gather the threads from the snapshots of our childhood , we find the person we have become. We find ourselves.’
