- Summary:
- In 1941 Helga Griffin's family found themselves on a long voyage to Australia, designated enemy aliens. Interned for nearly five years in the dusty Victorian countryside, this is a remarkable story of a girl's construction of her identity, and of her family's search for a place in the world. Her feisty, loving migrant family explores everyday life in the Australia of the late 1940s and early 50s.
