I read this on the Kindle and thought I was reading The Harp in The South. At the end I realised that I had read the trilogy! Missus, The Harp in the South & Poor Man's Orange were published in 1985, 1948 & 1949. A fascinating story following Hugh Darcy and Margaret Kilker from a country town to living in the slums of Surrey Hills.

Why did I wait so long to read this?!
Just like the time I finished Cloudstreet, I'm really sad to have to say goodbye to the Darcys. I don't want to go to bed and read about any other family.
It was funny, tragic, uplifting and filled with so much guts and glory. I adored both Roie and Dolour so much! I was left heart broken come Poor Man's Orange.
There are so many unforgettable moments and characters that I completely understand why this is an Australian Classic. I recommend reading the entire trilogy in one go, I don't think you could have the same experience only reading The Harp in the South.
