  • "Mum always shoos us outside because we need fresh air. We get more fresh air than anyone else I know."The author invites us into her world where children improvised play in their neighbourhood, growing up with little adult supervision but rushing home at mealtimes. The childrens world of the 40s and 50s is vividly recreated in a way that is at once nostalgic, historic yet contemporary.Run, Robin, Run depicts with humour the authors struggle, lost in the middle of a large family with a spirit that frequently created problems for her. She was driven by a growing awareness of unfairness, injustice and defiance, tempered by the need for love. Hers is a world where the unexpected happens even on the most ordinary of days.

    P>About the Author: After a troubled childhood, leading her to drop out of school early and marry young, Robin Parry qualified as a relationship and family counsellor, later specialising in domestic violence where she worked with both male perpetrators and female victims. She is the author of journal articles and two books on this subject. Robin has four children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and she lives in Melbourne with her psychiatrist husband.
