Summary: |
Six linked storeis follow an Australian family from 1935 to 2002 as different generations cope with discord and violence. The use of flashbacks may cause some readers difficulty. |
Teaching Ideas: |
Because each story stands on its own, teachers may want to explore the family dynamics, the conditions of society, and the problem solving strategies employed in each. A character time line would illustrate plot and character development in this story. Learners can consider how the book would be different if written as a traditional, chronological novel and what the author gained by choosing the linked story format. Students may be intrigued enough by the title and the quotation from the poem "The Destruction of Sennacherib" by Byron to discuss why the author used it. |
