“Roses were rarely seen at the old Jerusalem hotel.  For its assortment of wretched tenants, a luxury might be warm feet, cat’s meat stew or a five-bob coat from a jumble sale.
In A Power of Roses, Ruth Park draws vivid portraits of Miriam, the tough adolescent heroine; her uncle Puss, a canny old Irishman; and a colourful assortment of inhabitants who line in the hotel’s damp, rat-infested rooms.”
