WEST AUSTRALIANA Biography

From Western Australian author Nicki Quekett comes this biography of her father, from the early years of his life in Geneva and Canada, through to his entry to Cambridge and subsequent university appointment in South Africa. Against a backdrop of the rapidly changing world in the 1930s she then embarks on her own life journey, from an idyllic childhood in South Africa, through the Second World War and finally to find home and happiness in Western Australia. Along the way she slowly unravels a mysterious family secret. Why did her father, a brilliant scholar and musician, take his life at the peak of his career? The answer is both shocking and yet compelling. pp. 229 illusts. Signed by Author. #1220/191123 First Edition
