Pumpkin

Pumpkin is a sociological study - rather a case study with all the warmth of the human experience of one family and especially of one girl growing up in that family... - Betsy Wearing PhDThis is a truly beautiful book a post-war coming of age Sydney memoir...at a time of great societal change...rich in metaphor and life wisdom very much of its time; lyrical poetic sometimes serious sometimes sad and laugh-out-loud funny...complex understated warm-hearted...a highly religious innocent left-handed nerdy girl growing up on Sydneys Lower North Shore in a non-affluent stable and loving home. - Edwin Wilson FRAS
