Through characters of apparently limited hope, and with a limited place in the world, he creates a panorama of life that is vivid, truthful, and heartbreaking. One of the many deep satisfactions of \u003ci\u003e1953\u003c\/i\u003e is the way that moment in time sixty years ago remains true to how life was then, in the Australian rural heartland post-war, yet is told with a truth that would have been unimaginable to express at the time.' \u003cb\u003eRoger McDonald\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'A masterwork - think of \u003ci\u003eWinesburg, Ohio\u003c\/i\u003e, think of \u003ci\u003eOur Town\u003c\/i\u003e - Geoff Page has written a remarkable verse narrative - I found it so vivid it stopped me now and then, stopped me in my tracks.' \u003cb\u003eFrank Moorhouse\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780702249525\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Queensland Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43016202223679,"sku":null,"price":24.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/8626\/8223\/files\/139233482438.jpg?v=1773747248","url":"https:\/\/bookconnection.com.au\/products\/ninteen-hundred-and-fifty-three-by-geoff-page","provider":"The Book Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
