About this listen

 Out in that country the sun smeared the sky and nothing ever altered, except that one day a scrap man came by . . .

HER name is scarcely known or remembered. All in all, she is worth less than the nine shillings and sixpence counted into her father's hand.

She bides her time. She does her work.

Way back in the corner of her mind is a thought she is almost too frightened to shine a light on: one day she will run away.

A dark and unsettling tale from the turn of the twentieth century by a master of Australian literature. Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Literary Fiction Fiction Short Story England

Sad, shocking, bleak, but a bloody good listen! So much so, that I am somewhat bereft that I finished it. Although, I feel like I’ve been left hanging a bit, I could’ve done with a final chapter or epilogue. But I guess that’s what a good book will do to you.

What a tale!

I liked the story, but it made me feel very sad.
I hope Lilly and Hazel lived the life they deserved.

Shocking and sad

Wowee, that was a ride! A good reminder of how hard life has been, how much we have not learned,and how beautifully a well-crafted story can be told. Thank you, Mr Disher - that was glorious. I hope there is a sequel.
