Book excerpt: Finding Theodore and Brinais an engaging and absorbing story of an Australian family five generations old. Starting with her great-grandparents who travelled from London to Australia in the 1950's- one as a convict, one as a free settler; both Jewish, the author traces the lives of forebears and in so doing uncovers and reveals the transgressions, taboos and secrets that have remained hidden within the family. Gradually as details of madness, convictism, illegitimacies and miscegenation begin to emerge the author is forced to confront the truth about her family and, of course, herself. The book is a powerful testament to the delicacy and complexity of family and relationships.
