Literature and Fiction
Bondi Junction in the late 1940s is a microcosm of changing
Australia, and life is changing too fast for locals like
salt-of-the-earth Pop Wilson, prickly Miss McNulty and
feisty single mum Kath, all of whom resent the European
`reffos' who have moved in. The newcomers are struggling to rebuild their lives while
the unhealed wounds of the past threaten to overwhelm them.
As the lives of the neighbours interweave, unexpected new
relationships cause tragedy for some, but forgiveness and
salvation for others. Ultimately the residents of Wattle Street discover that
behind closed doors, Old as well as New Australians have
secret heartaches which poison their lives. Can we ever
forget the past, or does it continue to fester inside us?
Can understanding be forged from prejudice and fear?
