About this book
It is 1932 in Sydney, Australia, during the Great Depression when the city is facing hard economic times. The story follows two children, Alice and Billy, as they witness the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, a massive engineering project that will connect the north shore to the working-class suburbs of the south. The bridge brings hope to the city and represents a unifying force for a divided community.
