The Atkinsons Their Life & Times in the 20th Century by Barbara R Moyle is a richly illustrated Australian family history that blends memoir with cultural studies, tracing one clan through a century of change. Moyle’s narrative turns private letters, photographs and anecdotes into a wider lens on wartime migration, suburban growth and shifting social values.
Ideal for readers who love biographies, true stories or local history, the book doubles as an accessible textbook for senior students and adults exploring twentieth-century life. Crisp design and well-captioned images invite browsing, while the author’s clear prose keeps family chronicle and national events intertwined.
