The novel is largely autobiographical and brings to life in vivid personal detail both the tribulations and the humour of family life in a world still suffering the effects of the Great Depression. It is a world where the Principal of the town's small school can attempt to ban movies in the town; where the family's temperaments are linked to the overall depressed state of the rural economy; where recycling is one of the major sources of income for poor children. It is, in fact, a world that no longer exists. Yet it deals with the universal themes of teenagers struggling to find self-worth; parental love and parental disharmony. It is much about learning to 'make do' with meagre resources and of facing the harsh realities of country life.JUV016130English20131205170013Publish GreenRipples of Warnone97816265258945.99Una ClarkeAuthor2009-11-28Ripples of War carries on from where my first book, Land of the Rippling Gold finishes and covers the entire period of World War 2 and its effects upon two families, oneaAustralian and one English, whose stories are told in separate chapters until aadaughter and sonameet in Australia and fall in love.
