The Golden Age

I enjoyed this story The Golden Age by Joan London which is set in early 1950s Perth at a hospital caring for children with polio.  The main characters are Frank who came to Australia with his parents from Hungary, and Elsa a girl Frank loves.  It is interesting to read about those times before we had immunisation for this terrible disease.  The author has written a beautifully gentle story.  4/5
