"Two nights later our whole life is changed. I am reading a comic in bed, when from way down the hall I hear my mother yell, 'Frank! Frank!' There is something in her voice that I have never heard before - not just panic, which is the first thing that strikes me, but a deeper note of fear..." Garry Kinnane's haunting evocation of his boyhood in Melbourne in the 40s and 50s brings to life a struggling family. Frank and Thelma and their two boys, Garry and Ray, are always on the move - from Richmond to Mount Macedon, to North Melbourne, among the homeless in 'Larundel', and finally to an uneasy life in Valentine Street.
