The Ten Pound Poms

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the mass migration from the UK to Australia between 1945 and 1973, the narrative explores the emotional and social challenges faced by over one million Britons who sought new beginnings. Central to the story are the sacrifices made, particularly the heart-wrenching decision to leave elderly parents behind, often with the realization that reunions may never occur. This poignant account delves into the broader implications of such migration, highlighting the intertwining of personal stories with historical events.
