1 y separately published work icon Anoli : The Blind Sydney Tomholt , 1936 (Manuscript version)x401930 Z73607 1936 single work drama

"Anoli: The Blind is set in a hut in far-north Queensland, 1905, focusing on the romantic relationships between three isolated Italian immigrants. The central character is Rosa, torn between her current lover, Antonio, and her past lover, Anoli, who she blinded in a fit of rage some years ago. Between this love triangle and an imported, generations-old Vendetta from homeland Italy, this is a distressing slice of loneliness, revenge, love and violence from the voice of newly immigrated settlers."
