AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'The Gingko Tree tells the story of an Italian family who were early settlers in Australia. The heroine, Diana de Fluti Ashton, is of the fourth generation born in the new country. Living an almost idyllic life in the home that has passed down through three generations, she is suddenly awakened to suffering through the illness of her husband. The coming into her life of Dr Hinde has a dramatic effect on her whole growth of consciousness and adaptation.' (Source: back cover)
