Set in 1930s depression era Australia, the book explores a time and part of the world that I knew nothing about -- the rise of  postwar fascism in Australia in opposition to communism. I have no idea whether it's based on real events but it rings true. The author quotes what she purports to be contemporaneous clips from newspapers. Since I listened to the audiobook I didn't get to read whether these were actual sources. 
The main characters are a loveable mess of freespirited artists set against the background of fading Victorians. It feels like Downton Abbey. 
The audiobook reader is plummy and lush with a little difficulty with the Irish women but that's a nitpick. 
Could use some editing.
