Produktbeschreibung

Australia has welcomed immigrants from many countries of the world over the years. Many choose to marry within their own cultural groups, others know when they have met the right partner, regardless of country or creed. This story - the sequel to Beatrice's Commonsensical Approach - tells of the experiences of Francis and Esther, both born in South Australia towards the end or the 19th century. Esther has English-born parents. Francis has a German Lutheran father and British Catholic mother. The young couple settle to raise a family in the lovely Adelaide Hills town of Hahndorf, once called German Town. Then World War I begins… This is the story of Esther's family's experiences in a town whose residents learn to overcome prejudice and civil conflict to reinforce an enviable community spirit. It is also the tale of a woman whose head is too often in conflict with her heart.
