Pip Wilson

Faces in the Street Pip Wilson 2nd edition

She struggled to get women the vote. Her son was Australia's most famous writer. They drove each other crazy. Meticulously researched 575-page Aussie historical novel on set mostly in the 1890s. It shows the world in which Louisa Lawson & Henry Lawson and their circle of radical friends lived: revolution, poverty, love affairs, madness, drunkenness, sedition, terrorism, passionate hopes, and friendships with some of Australia's most remarkable people. Much historical material here doesn't appear in their biographies. Read on + glossary. "Good stuff - experientially, politically, anecdotally, stylistically, narratively, romantically, alcoholically. What more can one say?" Douglas Houston, PhD, co-editor of the Oxford Good Fiction Guide Note: Lulu's TEEN rating = "suitable for persons ages 13+", not "teenage book".
