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

These stories re-create a strange and fascinating world, where a child may look through squares of lattice enclosing a garden of Indian jasmine and Kashmiri roses to the sheepyards and paddocks of the Australian countryside. They are unique in their depiction of the life of an Indian family in rural Australia, but they would be distinguished in any case by their quality ? their crystalline images and lyrical feeling, their sensitive perception of light and shade, of human suffering, exile and joy.
