Description

Greece had changed me... now I had a greater sense of what was possible, what potential the world offered to those willing to plunge in... the future beginning to issue its demand. Time to move, to a new place and a new challenge. I had no idea what it might be, or where I might find it, but we thought, Jo and I, that England would be as good a place to start as any...

In 'Time of Arrival' Garry Kinnane tells of a decade of living abroad - Greece, a war-affected Europe, London in the 60s and 70s, his involvement in the student movement, a scholarship to Oxford. His search for direction is aided by friends and the faith of his wife Jo, through the struggle to raise a family in times of hardship, and the ultimate desire to return home to Australia. It is a tale of journey and arrival - at a place, an achievement, a self-discovery.

This is the final volume of a trilogy that began with childhood in 'Shadowed Days', and continued with youth in 'Fare Thee Well, Hoddle Grid'.
