About This Item
Michael Joseph / Penguin Books, Ringwood, Melbourne - 1997 hardcover, 5¾" x 9, with dust jacket VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket Adeline's mother died in childbirth and her father remarried a beautiful Eurasian, who treated her step-children as second-class citizens. Adeline in particular was considered inferior and insignificant. On her first day at school no one collected her; she was not allowed to invite friends home; she was later sent to boarding school. Not surprisingly, she dreamt of freedom and independence
and eventually made a successful career. Here she tells her uplifting personal story; 'Falling Leaves' is a very special book.
