Book Description:
Annie Caulfield's Irish family frequently told her a tall
tale of an uncle who'd been banished to Australia, found fame and fortune as
a jockey and even had a championship cup and a race course named after him.
Was there any truth in this at all? And even more important, was there any
money in it?
Annie embarks on a comical, helter skelter quest to unravel fact from
fiction in the well spun family tale of glories and possible inheritances
vanished down under. On her travels round Australia she has a series of
startling, sometimes downright bizarre encounters with local people - and a
lot of trouble with the local wildlife. Not always pretty, but full of
dayglo colour, the individuals she meets give a striking 3d snapshot of
modern Australia, and shed light on a past full of contradictions and
complexities. Funny, touching and sometimes tragic, Annie Caulfield's
journey, following her own strand through the history of the Irish in
Australia, unravels much more than she bargained for.
