The Five Lives Of Ms Bennett - 9780645752403

The Five Lives of Ms Bennett is a historical, coming-of-age, family saga. The book reveals the struggle of a young Australian girl, fed up with her hometown life, only to find that the big city doesn't exactly hold the dreams she wishes for. Themes are: love doesn't always find a way, marrying outside of one's culture elicits problems, nationality differences that often exhibit cultural bias and prejudice on both sides. For those interested in early Australian history, especially the fifties and sixties, it includes the domestic roles of women, post war attitudes, lifestyle and conditions. In the extension of Ms Bennett's contemporary lives there are issues such as family loyalty and trust, the vagaries of money and wealth, family jealousy and fraud, domestic violence, alcoholism, rights to education, equality and freedom for women.
