Description:
A humourous account of a doomed family party held in Newcastle (Australia) on Friday 13 February 1942, the eve of the eldest son's entrance into a seminary and the fall of Singapore. A portrait of family interdependence and the Irish-Australian heritage if romanticism, ebullient humour, guilt and vulnerability.
