Raimond Gaita (memoir)

Fullplot:

Raimond Gaita (1946 - ) comes of age in Frogmore, Victoria in the early 1960s. His parents are immigrants: his Romanian father farms; his German mother, Christina, estranged from Romulus, is in Melbourne. Romulus is near despair when she takes up with the brother of his best friend, who suggests he send for a new wife from back home. For Rai, poverty, bruises, and the mysterious ways of adults compete with his longing for a stable home and his own incipient puberty. Love and madness lie in the same bed. As an old woman tells Rai, "Sometimes what you reckon and what you get ain't the same thing."

Comments:

Beatae sint pariatur iusto facilis esse fuga rerum. Voluptatem numquam repellat nesciunt accusamus earum accusantium est veritatis. Quam facere assumenda dolorum numquam.
