Book Information
AUSSIE, ACTUALLY
Subtitle: A Woman's Humorous and Honest Account of What it's Really Like to Emigrate
LOIS NICHOLLS
Lois Nicholls is three months pregnant. With husband and clingy toddler in tow, she sets off from Durban, South Africa, to a sweltering Brisbane, arriving on Australia Day 1997. She is not prepared for the sheer magnitude of the move but battles on in a fog of homesickness using humour to get by. Aussie, Actually is a warts-and-all account of Lois's eleven-year sojourn as a migrant wife and mother. Illustrated by her 10-year-old daughter, Lara, the book's 22 chapters capture her humorous and honest life experiences living as a new Australian. Who is this book for? Aussie, Actually will allow born and bred Australians a tiny glimpse of an immigrant's impression of living Down Under. It will also strike a chord with new and established immigrants who will no doubt relate to many of the humorous episodes mentioned in the book. And for those contemplating a permanent move to Australia, Aussie, Actually will reveal the everyday experiences not covered in the emigration manual!
