Gallipoli Street

'Through her sensitivity, beautiful writing and gift as a story teller O’Connor’s readers will come to know and love her characters as she pays homage to Australia’s brave diggers and medicos.' Read more: http://www.weeklytimesnow.com.au/country-living/gallipoli-street-mary-anne-oconnor

‘As we reflect on the lasting impact of a war that occurred a hundred years ago, Mary-Anne O’Connor brings us a story celebrating the good that can spring from war—love, hope and courage. In the heart-warming and heart-wrenching Gallipoli Street, the lives of three families will be irrevocably altered by the politicians and the powerful who send the nation’s youngest and strongest to fight wars on their behalves. Some will never return from the battlefield, some will never be the same but throughout it all, from one Great War to the next, family and faith provides the ultimate reminder of what it truly means to be human.’   - The Hoopla
