It's 1964 and transgender performers Rhoda and Star are flatting with exotic dancer Polly Manaia in Sydney's Kings Cross, the drug and red light capital of Australia. When Polly goes home to New Zealand for a 'visit', she brings back her 11-year-old daughter, Gina, to live with them. Gina was living with Polly's estranged mother in New Zealand. Things appear to go well, until Polly's drug taking habit extends to heroin in order to try and forget her past demons. A confronting story about the secrets we hold in order to try and 'protect' others (see page 347), and how they continue to torment. Gina, Rhoda and Star are fabulous characters.

Polly Manaia is living in Sydney's notorious Kings Cross, working as an exotic dancer. She's desperate to bring her young daughter to live with her, but beneath her brash confidence lie dark secrets which threaten to drag her under. Gina is excited to live with her mum again. She's mature for an eleven-year-old, but can this young girl cope with Polly's demons? Rhoda and Star, transgender performers and Polly's flatmates, bring stability to Polly and Gina's lives. Yet this unlikely little family will find themselves threatened in more ways than one. The Jacaranda House is a fascinating portrayal of a shifting society and a beautiful portrait of motherhood and identity. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
