G A De Forest

Strangers In Our Own Lands G A De Forest

This is a work of "Creative Nonfiction," a deeply personal account as seen through a child's eyes, and reviewed from an adult's viewpoint still often childlike in its frankness. Family events from the writer's early life are observed and related to the unfolding fate of the family caught in an existential, psychological tug-of-war. Quirks of both American and New Zealand outlooks are seen and interpreted with some humor and personal insight.
