Wonderful. A lovely journey through the lives of two post-war, working-class Australian families who find themselves living in the same large, run-down house. One family is hard-working, clean-living and industrious, the other beset by problems and bad luck. Most of the story comes from the interaction between the two families and what they learn from each other. Full of memorable characters and perceptive insights. Funny, uplifting, tragic. Highly recommended. Like The Sullivans if anyone remembers that.
