Reseña del libro "The ten Pound Poms: Australia Bound 1964 (en Inglés)"

The Ten Pound Poms is a story about more than just the small number of individuals portrayed in this book. During 1945 to 1973 over one million Britons left hte UK to start a new life on the other side of the world. Leaving family and friends behind, especially elderly parents was a major concern, knowing in all probability they may never see them again.In post-war Britain conditions were tough, and most wanted a chance to rebuild their lives away from the atrocities of war. Australia provided that opportunity. It offered hope and a new life to anyone who wanted it - a chance to escape. Ten pounds was a pittance to pay to discover if the grass really ,was ,greener on the other side.This book tells the candid story of three young brothers with nothing to lose, who in their naivety, saw the Australian Assisted Passage Scehem as a chance to see the world and an opportunity for an incredible two-year adventure. For their parents however, it brought an emptiness from which they would never recover.They left England in 1964 and the countless life experiences they endured strengthened their resolve immeasurably and the young woman who accompanied John back to the UK was an absolute joy. This book demonstrates succinctly the undeniable role that destiny can play in shaping people',s lives.The Ten Pound Poms ,may be relics from a bygone era, but hopefully their spirit of optimism, adventure and endeavour remain just as relevant in today',s society as they were all those years ago._,
