Colwell, Max THE CARROLL INHERITANCE, A novel about Colonial Adelaide, Rigby, 1980. Hardcover in good condition, dust jacket in good condition, 174 pages. In the eyes of Rachel Dowd, a young servant girl fresh out of London, South Australia in the 1850's was a delightful place. Through Rachel's eyes we see vividly the South Australia of 130 years ago; the thriving city of Adelaide with its well known landmarks, the neat German village of Klemzig, the sweeping southern vales with their tiny hamlets and patchwork vineyards, North Adelaide with its extreme of wealth and poverty. The lives and fortunes of all the local people are woven together in masterly fashion to give not only a fascinating story but also a robust and true to life portrait of a past age.
