The Home Girls

Read The Home Girls Storyline:

The Home Girls is a collection of candid, witty stories about rural and suburban life. Set in the mid-twentieth century, these are tales of ordinary people and domestic life. Masters was, as the Advertiser remarked, 'a natural storyteller'. Between the publication of The Home Girls, in 1982, and her death, Olga Masters was acclaimed as one of Australia's finest writers. Her short stories, distinguished by their acute observation of human behaviour, drew comparison with the finest exponents of the form, such as Chekhov.The stories in this collection:The Home GirlsThe Rages of Mrs TorrensOn the TrainLeaving HomePassenger to BerrigoThe Done ThingA Rat in the BuildingA Dog that SqueakedA Young Man’s FancyThe Lang WomenThe Snake and Bad TomA Poor WinnerCall Me PinkieAdams and BarkerMrs ListerThe Creek WayThe Children Are ComingA Good...
