Corrugated Roads. Rollin' down the Road. 1960s-1970s - Ginny Dixon Lowndes - Bog

Jenny Jae continues to chronicle her rough and tumble experiences beginning with life in an alcoholic family and town, finding shelter and sobriety in a vibrant Aboriginal community, being schooled by the Sisters of Mercy who had none, and striking out to make her own way. It didn't always go to plan. Like all beginners, it took her a while to learn how to steer straight. Two eminent Australian writers, Alan Marshall (I Can Jump Puddles) and Geoffrey Dean (Mysteries, Myths and Miracles) said: "Corrugated Roads is a gritty telling, and a book that I couldn't put down. And, in spite of its serious subject matter, there is relief in the unexpected humour that arises out of the girl's imaginative misconceptions about events beyond her experience." Geoffrey Dean, Writer "Her wealth of experience would be the envy of any writer wanting to write an epic about the life of an Australian girl ... Ginny is a long way ahead of her time. Her stories are amazingly varied ... but tying them all together is a natural understanding of human character and a keen eye to record the significant ... these are extremely modern and frank stories." Alan Marshall, Writer Corrugated Roads is an epic tale of a young girl's journey through life and its landscape. This is the second novel in a series of five. Ginny Lowndes is an award winning Australian author who has written for all media including television (Neighbours) as well as print (Playboy).
