Australia Street is an unforgettable story about families, love, luck, and the choices that set us free.
Ann Whitehead's debut Blackwattle Road was a stirring ballad for battlers, sweeping through generations of hardship and triumph. Australia Street slips into this world again, taking you back to inner-city Sydney in 1948. It's Friday the 13th and Hannah Gordon is turning 36. It's also a full moon, and she doesn't need Grandma Ade's warning to know that bad luck is just around the corner ...
In the year that follows, the family is rocked to its core. But are all the odds against them? Or is something about to change?
Readers of Peter Yeldham and Estelle Pinney will love this heartwarming fiction.
From the author of Australia Street comes The House Across The Road, a vivid domestic drama about the lives, loves and life-changing choices of some unforgettable mothers and daughters.
When Isabelle Barnes leaves home one morning, never to return, her country town becomes awash with rumour. Meanwhile, her bewildered young daughter, Abbie, is left to find her own way in the world.
Four years later, when the 17-year-old Abbie unexpectedly falls pregnant, their paths will again collide in tumultuous – and ultimately tragic – ways.
The House Across The Road raises questions of duty, family history, and the profound impact spontaneous decisions can have on future generations.
