Summary
The graffiti on the holding room wall says it all: ‘Gunyah is hell on earth’. And Ellen’s about to find out why.
Ellen was never quite the daughter her mother wanted. Patent leather shoes and frilly dresses just weren’t her thing and, at age fourteen, she’s ready to leave school and find her own way. For Ellen, like so many other teenagers at the end of the Sixties, life is full of possibilities. Surely there’s nothing wrong with going where she wants and hanging out with Robbie?

Critics Review
Girl 43 is well written and will make you angry. It deals with a difficult aspect of our history but one that needs to be examined. - Toowoomba Chronicle
Giles tackles some tough topics, not the least of which is forced adoption, but does so in a way that is sensitive to and respectful of the girls who passed through the doors. - Weekend Gold Coast Bulletinpowerful - CleoAbout The Author
