Seven Poor Men of Sydney

Christina Stead
Introduction by Delia Falconer
Seven Poor Men of Sydney is a brilliant portrayal of a group of men and women living in Sydney in the 1920s amid conditions of poverty and social turmoil.

Their struggles, their pain and their frustrations are portrayed with consummate skill in this memorable evocation of a city and an era.
