REMINISCENCE is a work of fiction based on the generations of the McKenzie brothers who came to Australia during the gold rush days of the 1850's. It is related to the situation in a nursing home of one of their descendants, 'the old man', Andrew McKenzie, and his relationship with the nurses who attend him. It spans 160 years of Australia's history and the characters participate in many of the major historical and social events that occurred over that time. 'The old man' is a Western Queensland grazier, a genuine old bushie who espouses conservative values and tries to influence all about him to adopt them too. On the other hand, controversial social issues such as the Stolen Generation, Vietnam War and family relationships are handled with sensitivity. The trials and tribulations of successive generations of McKenzies are detailed, family connections explored, and romances developed. Above all, it is a love story, with a piquant ending that brings the story to a heartwarming close.
