About

Fifteen "characters" - fifteen views of a rural heritage which is the stuff of our national identity and a neglected part of our folklore. Speaking a Silence brings to life the memories of a community - details of lives spent in mine, mill, farm and home, the philosophies born of material hardship and commitment to land and community.

Here, the men and women of a vanishing generation speak for themselves and their times. Armed only with a pile of papers and pencils, Christine Hunt set out to rediscover the spirit of the isolated Golden Bay community which, if unique in particular details, is typical of remote rural townships anywhere in the country.

Includes monochrome drawn illustrations.
