The Paperbark Shoe by Goldie Goldbloom

The Paperbark Shoe by Goldie Goldbloom

From 1941 to 1947, 18,000 Italian prisoners of war were sent to Australia. The surrender of Mussolini in 1943 created a novel circumstance: prisoners who were no longer enemies. Due to a shortage of guards and their new status as friendlies, many of these exiles were sent to work on isolated farms, unguarded. This is the unforgettable story of a woman named Gin Boyle. An albino, a classically trained pianist, and a woman with a painful past, Gin's ghostly skin and transparent white hair have made her an outcast since birth. Disavowed by her wealthy step-father, her unlike saviour is the farmer Mr Toad - a little man, with a taste for ladies corsets.
