Hell's Only Half Full

 Second Hand (Hardcover)

Excellent Condition

Hell's Only Half Full tells the colourful story of Victorian pioneer-settler Lucy Little (Nan) through the lives of three generations of her family.

It is essentially a gritty yet engaging story of strong, resourceful women (and fairly ineffectual men) dealing with abject poverty in an unforgiving environment. It is a story peppered with humour - beginning with the spectacle of a horse being given an enema - and spiced with drama, pathos, and even fratricide.

Hell's Only Half Full is the winner of category C (book) of the 2010 Museums Australia Multimedia and Publication Design Awards and was designed by Sarah Evans.
