It was an act of simple kindness for an Australian couple to take two Czech refugees from post World War II Europe into their working-class home. They could never have foreseen the tensions these sophisticated Europeans would create, or the life-changing impact they would have on their teenage daughter. A Promise of Peaches explores sympathetically the culture clashes of 1950s immigration, not unlike those of today, and shows with sensitivity the unfolding of adolescent sexuality.

I had been looking for a copy of this beautiful book for many years and finally found it through your book shop. It arrived in pristine order and even included a newspaper review inside plus a message and signature by the author Valerie Volk dated March 2011. Thank you.
