Glen Eyre

Glen Eyre opens with a happy description of the Ogilvie’s family life on their farm property in Gippsland, Victoria. Joan and Angus Ogilvie have three children: Martin, the eldest, Nancy (aged 8), and Rob, the youngest. The nearest town is Warrabri. Then Mother dies tragically, Father retreats into a shell, and the rest of the story recounts the efforts of the two youngest children to re-establish a healthy balance, by helping and thawing out their father.
