A Fortunate Life by A. B. Facey.

[Tuesday evening book club]

The following review was written by a member of the Tuesday Evening Book Club.

 

A Fortunate Life traces A.B. Facey's horrific experiences from the age of eight working on outback farms to losing his own farm during the depression. The enduring love of his grandmother sustains him and his happy marriage and children bring him great joy. His passionate pursuit of learning results in this fascinating insight into changes in social conditions, education and farming methods. It is an honest book simply told.
