About the book: 2020 / “The Long Edwardian Summer” was the name given to the serene time that came with the death of Queen Victoria and ended with the First World War. For young Delia, who came from the provinces to the Australian capital, a new life seems like a happy dream. However, the big city is treacherous: it is inhabited not only by honest workers and idle rich people, but also by bohemian youth who despise Edwardian respectability. In such a society it is difficult to preserve ourselves - but do we always know who we really are??
