Sydney, 1972.
Stunned by the death of her talented parents in a tragic accident, Carol Sheridan emerges from her trance to find their estate willed to her through a conditional Testamentary Trust. Although almost a stranger, the Trustee is her late father’s closest friend, a partner in their well-known city Law practice. Always intent on studying Law to join her father, she defies the prejudice of the small north coast town where she lives and achieves entry to University. In a time of changing social values, the Vietnam War, Whitlam and Women’s Lib, she moves to Sydney where she confronts the reality of ‘how grown-ups play’.Carol’s life story evolves organically through a faithful rendition of a bygone era. A ‘must-read’ for anyone keen to learn or revisit the Australian ethos of the early 70s.
