In the 50th anniversary of Miles Franklin's death, this book containing many of her diary enteries and richly illustrated with photos and drawings will capture the hearts and minds of readers.
Few Australian writers have left such revealing, engaging and witty diaries. Bequeathed to Sydney's Mitchell Library and embargoed by Franklin for the ten years following her death, the diaries in fact had to be restricted for much longer owing to Franklin's candid comments on the manners and morals of her contemporaries.
