Charlie Wilson, the 'state house boy' from Two Lakes, is sent to Riverton Boys' Home as a state ward 'until such time as you are seen fit to return to society'.The door in the cell block isn't the only thing that Charlie finds is for real - there's also the name 'George' scrawled on the walls and, by it, the word 'kehua' or ghost . . . A novella drawn from Alan Duff's own memories of his time spent in a boys' home. Those years of Alan's life will be described in his forthcoming autobiography, making this fictional account particularly interesting. No library descriptions found. |
