Growing up in an Australian country town before World War I, Jackie Hanna and Cushie Moy are carefree and innocent in their love for each other. But Jackie is a dwarf, and his devotion to the beautiful Cushie is condemned by her parents. This is the story of their life-long odyssey, and of the triumph of a special kind of courage. In Swords and Crowns and Rings Ruth Park brilliantly captures the mood and tempo of Australian life from 1907 until 1931.©1977 Ruth Park. By arrangement with Penguin Group (Australia). (P)2007 Bolinda Publishing Belletristik Zeitgenössische Literatur

Beschreibung von Audible

Ruth Park's saga follows Jackie Hanna, a man whose inner strength and beauty is squashed by many, including Jackie's own father, who can't overlook his dwarfism. Jackie finds a kindred spirit in Cushie Moy a beautiful girl who lives nearby and with whom he creates a lush inner world - but outsiders refuse to overlook their physical differences. They grow up in rural Australia during the early 20th century and, with the depression, hardships follow. Deidre Rubenstein compassionately performs the audiobook, making Jackie's personal Odyssey relatable while retaining the depth that makes it such a powerful story.
