So This is Life: Scenes from a Country Childhood

Author(s): Anne Manne

Biography & Memoir

A wonderfully evocative account of youth. At age seven, after her parents' marriage broke down, Anne Manne travelled with her mother and sisters from Adelaide to the Central Victorian countryside to begin a new life. So This Is Life is not a conventional memoir but a haunting and luminous account told through stories.
