This book is well researched which took 8 years. It is a fitting tribute to all the Passengers who came to Australia on the Re d’Italia in 1927.
These people faced significant hardship coming to a country where they did not speak the language & a place with a very different society & customs. It is a tribute to all immigrants who have left their homeland searching for a better life.
