Hardback. Mena Abdullah And Ray Mathew, Angus and Robertson. Condition remarks:Book: Good , ex-libraryJacket: Wear and tearPages: Good Markings: Ex-library with usual markingsA celebrated work of Australian short fiction, The Time of the Peacock chronicles the lives of an Indian Muslim family navigating the complexities of identity, belonging, and cultural displacement in rural New South Wales. Through a series of interconnected stories narrated largely through the eyes of a young girl named Nimmi, the collection illuminates the joys and quiet sorrows of living between two worlds - the rich traditions of South Asian heritage and the vast, unfamiliar landscape of mid-twentieth-century Australia.

Groundbreaking at the time of its 1965 publication, the work remains a landmark in multicultural Australian literature, presenting voices and experiences that had been largely absent from the national literary conversation.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Punjabi migration provides the material for the first Indo-Australian literary work, first published in 1965. Set in northern New South Wales this is something of a rural idyll, recording a cross-communal marriage and settling in to life on a sheep farm with a cast of typical bush characters.
