Review title: a vanished Sydney [and Australia]
Product review: Brodsky writes of her experiences as a girl in Sydney of the 1940s. Viewing it as an outsider. Compared to Europe, the city was unscathed by war damage. Her impressions are touching, and perhaps by not having grown up there, these are more revealing.Those of you who have visited contemporary Sydney, or indeed Australia, will see a vast contrast. The Sydney of the 40s was a social monobloc, of overwhelmingly British and Irish ethnicity. With perhaps the odd Aborigine or Asian thrown in. The transplanting of British customs onto the region can sometimes seem so incongruous. Like the prevalence of the oh so British names of suburbs.Brodsky's experiences were of a city just on the verge of massive postwar influxes. From eastern and southern Europe, and then eventually from east and south Asia.
