About the Book
Memoirs of The Neighbourhood Children recalls the author’s profound days of childhood. Set in 1971 to 1978 in Adelaide, Australia, this topical book describes an era of working parents who came from Italy, and settled in Adelaide in the 1960s.
The immigrant children’s lives faced an increasing awareness of the consequences and restricted responsibilities placed upon them. These children summarise their adventures by unraveling even further restrictions placed on their activities, including learning problem-solving methods that made it possible to thrive.
Says author Beatrice Ferraro, “This book is dedicated to my ‘younger’ sister Veronica, her husband Peter, and all of The Neighbourhood Children who played with us during that era.”
