The Sausage Tree (2009) - Plot & Excerpts

While in town we attended Charles Street School with Uncle Jeff and Auntie Shirley who were about the same ages as our brother Geoff and sister Joan. The school was a massive building and it seemed to us that there were thousands of children everywhere, but of course there weren’t—it was just that our own school was so small.One time when Mum was rushed to hospital in a serious condition caused by a burst stomach abscess, we all stayed home because there was no time for arrangements to be made for our care. Peter was still only a few months old and was taken to the hospital with her. The older ones did their best to look after the others. This was a huge responsibility because Geoff was twelve; Joan was just eleven; and Valda was ten; and they had to look after the seven year old twins and three year old Wilma.Shopping for the food was no problem as Mum ran a monthly account at the grocery shop and the butchers and we knew what was usually bought because we always went to the shops for Mum.
