The brothers each married one of the Solomon sisters just prior to the Great Depression. The Taciturn Man begins just after the Second World War when Alexander took up a rough bush sheep-grazing block in isolation among the tall trees of New England (New South Wales).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI was born in 1937, and so I was just three years old when my father went to war, and age eight when he returned. Fortunately, by then I was old enough to absorb much of the material for this collection which I hope you will now enjoy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the World Voices Series www.ModernHistoryPress.com","brand":"Loving Healing Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068760146160,"sku":"2940013425804","price":7.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013425804_p0.jpg?v=1763580783","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013425804","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
