Beschreibung

The celebrated, award-winning classic by Sally Morgan, now available in a brand new edition. In 1982, Sally Morgan travelled back to her grandmother s birthplace. What started as a tentative search for information about her family turned into an overwhelming emotional and spiritual pilgrimage. My Place is a moving account of a search for truth into which a whole family is gradually drawn, finally freeing the tongues of the author s mother and grandmother, allowing them to tell their own stories.
