The Time of the Peacock – Mena Abdullah (Paperback / Soft Cover)

Revised Edition

The Punjabi migration provides the material for the first Indo-Australian literary work, first published in 1965. Set in northern New South Wales ? this is something of a rural idyll, recording a cross-communal marriage and settling in to life on a sheep farm with a cast of typical bush characters. The impact lies in depictions of nostalgia for India and the organic link to traditional practices. Introduced by Tom Shapcott.
