This is a book where Jennifer Worth's Call the Midwife meets Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes in Australia, with a nod to AB Facey's A Fortunate Life, as it presents the early years of one migrant family's experience after arriving by ship in Australia in the 1950s. Babies, marriages, childhoods, and relationships in general figure prominently not only for those arriving with their large families but also for the Australians who had a similar fertility. All of these have provided material for rollicking good yarns about the real people of the fictional parish, St Kitts, in a fictional country town in Victoria, Australia, going about their daily lives.
