The Way My Father Tells it

When Tim Bowden asked his father to talk into a tape recorder about his childhood and young life, he didn't realise that the end result would be not only John Bowden's story but also a chronicle of Australia's way of life this century, from the quiet early years though the upheavals of war to the changes and rapid  developments that came with peace.

.An immensely appealing story, The Way my Father Tells it recreates the enthusiasms, enjoyments and sorrows of childhood and adolescence, and follows the fortunes of a young man setting up business for himself, falling in love and marrying, going to war and returning to re-establish family life.
