  • Unsettled, by Gay Lynch. Ligature. $34.99.

Part family epic, part Australian history, this is above all the story of a woman who manages to survive in a society comfortable in its acceptance of her low status. Rosanna Lynch is a teenager as the story begins; she and her family have managed to leave the west of Ireland in the years after the Great Famine and have come to the border area between South Australia and Victoria. Her father and older brother bring not-always-regular support to the family as workers in the local big house.
