Our History: A House Divided

It’s a novel for curious readers, and one that shows how social changes in the 1970s have informed what has changed in Australia during the last 50 years as well. The friendships are what make this novel so powerful for me, and it will be a great learning tool to show children what life was like before technology became ubiquitous. When people only had one TV, one landline, and where seeing people in person was more common. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, because it did allow for the nuances to be examined, and for people to understand that everyone has different beliefs – and that nobody is ever always right
