Best read in tandem with Roe's (or another) biography of Franklin. Like other letters collections of this time (notably David Marr's staggering volume on Patrick White), much of the poignancy, humour, interconnections, and chronology will make tons more sense in context.
This is a very well-researched, comprehensive study of the life and work of Miles Franklin. It is written by notable Australian cultural historian, Jill Roe, who spent many years researching the life of Franklin. I would recommend this biography to anyone interested in Australian writers, women writers, or the development of Australian literature.
