Our next book is A Fortunate Life by A.E.Facey, recommended by Kim. An alternative date is Tuesday May 6, give your preference in the comments to this event.
A review "This is a wonderful book. Facey is a fantastic narrator who leaves you hungry to read more. He lives through both world wars, and he records his thoughts honestly. It is a great book, as it shows the Australian struggle during the time period. Plus the events that Facey lives through are dramatic. This book does not have one boring page in it, as Facey had such an interesting life. As a result of Facey's honesty, the book will make you laugh, cry and gasp at his experiences. It is a tale of endurance and triumph. My lecturer recommended this to us as "the greatest souvenir you could take from Australia", and he is certainly right."
I have ordered a copy from Amazon UK, and there are also many copies available from Amazon.com
