The Aunt's Story

This book has the imaginative daring of Voss and the deep-flowing sympathy of The Tree of Man. It traces the uncompromisingly independent career of Theodora Goodman from the dusty reality of Australia to the whirling madhouse of Europe before the Second World War, and ends calmly, although across the borders of sanity, in that most practical of countries, the United States of America.
