Against all odds, English-born Ada Cambridge rose to prominence as a well-known writer and essayist during the 38 years she spent in Australia. This compelling memoir takes a look at her time in both countries; she spins her memories and impressions of each into a thought-provoking exploration of the ideas of home, homesickness, exile, and return.
