"In this novel of Australia, based on her T.V. play cycle The Exiles, a new Australian author takes as her hero a painter, Harry Brandon, who leaves school in the middle of the depression of the thirties and wanders round Sydney trying to get a job.  Because for Harry there seems little hope for the future, he tries to persuade his mother to tell him about the past, about her family whom she has not seen since she was eighteen."
