Infos

Kat is fifteen. She tells the imagined story of her family from her grandparent's birth in the 1920s through each decade to the 2000s. She speculates about family secrets. Kat's Grandpa forces his beliefs onto his five children, some of whom rebel. Kat's Grandma has a secret voice that questions everything. The story shows changes in Australia, including the Depression, World War 11, and new forms of music, fashion, technology, media, social attitudes, women's liberation and multiculturalism.This book appeals to young adult fiction readers who are fascinated by the past and the postwar baby-boomer generation who lived it. The story tells of sibling relationships, the impact of growing up amidst religious repression or abusive control, and the difficulty in breaking free from family constraints. There is a positive, surprise ending.
