A Curious & Inelegant Childhood: An Australian Story

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. “A Curious & Inelegant Childhood”, is an autobiography detailing Linda’s family, friends and schooling throughout her childhood. Describing life in a small Australian town, the adventures and misadventures of her childhood, Linda clearly remembers early years of her life. She tells of neighbourhood “wars” and her perception of her mother, father and brother in different times of her life. Adoration for her father melts off the pages . . a delightful story that will entertain any reader.
