Author: John Charalambous Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 264 Oddly, I am only intermittently aware that our lives are dismal. I think all fathers must be part ogre, part child, part Zeus in the clouds - or all Greek fathers, even if I know no others. Ten-year-old Andy senses that his peculiar little family is on the brink of collapse. His father, Cypriot migrant Haralambos Stylianou, rules his quarter-acre kingdom kike a tyrant. His mother is waiting for the advent of no-fault divorce, when she will shuck off Harry Stylianou's crazy bullying and live in peace. But Andy has a melodramatic mind and suspects that it could just as easily end in murder. And then one summer's day in 1974 a miraculous Greek voice pierces the surrounding Anglosphere - promising to put the kingdom right. Secondhand, Paperback.…

Paperback. John Charalambous, University of Queensland Press. Finding yourself can change the way you see the worldEvery family has its secrets - and its lies. The Lamberts have Uncle Harry, who fought in World War I but never came home from France.Each Lambert relative now clings to a different story- Harry died a hero's death on the battlefield. Harry married a sweet French girl. Harry drowned in the mud in Gallipoli. Harry was a coward who ran from the enemy. As his great-niece Julie struggles to sift fact from fiction, she finds how easy it is to rewrite the past.Gradually Harry comes to life- the awkward boy in turn-of-the-century Australia, the obedient son caring for his ageing mother, the 40-year-old bachelor, the reluctant soldier in France.
