AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'In the social-realist tradition of Australian novels, this is the story of a factory - a Geelong woollen mill and the people who work there between 1950 and 1996 when the mill lies in ruins.

'Narrated by a woman called Helen Sullivan, the novel reveals the perilous working conditions through the accident which befalls a member of her family and brings her to political consciousness.'
