The Bamboo Flute

By Garry Disher About

Paul is a dreamer, his head is full of rippling pianos, gentle violins and the smiles of Margaret, the one he loves. But in the cold light of day, Margaret snubs him at school, the piano has been sold, his father is battling to keep the farm, and dejected men are tramping the roads looking for work, a sandwich, a cup of tea…
No one has time for music or dreams. Then Eric the Red comes along. Eric the Red, with his silver flute, his knowing wink and boots held together with wire. Eric the Red, just stepped ahead of the law. Eric the Red, who knows how to make a flute from a piece of bamboo…
The Bamboo Flute is an evocative story of hardship, hope, respect and recognition, set during the depression.
