Raisins and Almonds
by Kerry Greenwood (Allen & Unwin, 1997); audiobook read by Stephanie Daniel (ABC Audio, 2010)
Greenwood’s ongoing survey of 1920s Melbourne leads Phryne to investigate its Jewish culture and the interbellum migrant experience (plus a largely incidental murder). The story sweeps along at Miss Fisher’s heels and proves a charming way to learn something of Australian history.
