A modern Australian classic and one of the country’s most widely admired memoirs.

In this deeply personal work, Raimond Gaita recounts his childhood growing up in rural Victoria with his father, Romulus, a Romanian-born migrant who arrived in Australia after World War II seeking a better life. Set among the harsh beauty of the Australian countryside, the book explores family, migration, mental illness, dignity, grief, and moral responsibility with remarkable honesty and restraint.

Written in clear and elegant prose, Romulus, My Father is both an intimate family portrait and a meditation on what it means to live a decent and compassionate life. The memoir later became the basis for the acclaimed Australian film adaptation starring Eric Bana.
