Description
SECOND HAND BOOK
This autobiography by Nancy Adams evokes the Melbourne of the ‘Victorian afterglow’ in the years before World War I, and describes her marriage to a Melbourne wine-merchant and her role in his business as society saw ‘the metamorphosis of her family and class in the new conditions of the new country.’
‘Its theme is the life and death of her generation; a generation integrated and vitalised by British precedent – but Australian, not British; a proud and possessive generation that, like its British counterpart, was decimated and dispossessed by two world wars.’
