Since it was first published in 1948, this compassionate novel has become a favourite with generations of Australian readers.The Harp in the South is a nostalgic and moving portrait of the eventful family life of the Darcys of Number Twelve-and-a-Half Plymouth Street in Surry Hills, a Sydney slum. There grow the bitter-sweet first and last loves of Roie Darcy, who becomes a woman too quickly amid the brothels and the razor gangs, the tenements and the sly-grog shops.Ruth Park is a classic storyteller. In this novel she brings to life a community where, despite the odds, life is always exubeant and full of promise.(from this Penguin edition's bookcover blurb)
