Music from another Country
Jeremy Fisher
ISBN: 978-0-9590350-3-2
Price: A$23.95
About the book:
Suburban Sydney has many secrets. This book looks at those of one family. This is a story about
heroes, but not heroics. It is a story of men living their lives quietly and peacefully. But life has
moments when it is neither, when things happen, life changes and men are forced to change
themselves. The book is a recount of three generations of a family, but is primarily concerned with
the war veteran grandfather and his grandson with AIDS and a theme of the humility of survival.
BRUCE SIMS says: “a pleasure to read and re-read … an unusual, yet persuasive, perspective of
Australian society”.
KERRYN GOLDSWORTHY wrote in the Sydney Morning Herald: “a moving story about
masculinity, families and courage”.
