The Poinciana Tree
by
Antony Jeffrey
About the book
The Poinciana Tree follows the life of a brave and sensitive woman who never stopped caring for the people she loved. Aimée’s
life stretched far and wide across Australia, though rarely to places
of her choice. Wherever she went she found people to love, and delight
amongst heartache.
The Poinciana Tree is told in two parts,
first through the lens of Antony’s mother Aimée, portraying the sadness
and loneliness of a young mother’s life in the vastness of
Australia during and after the war. As Aimée’s life spans across
Melbourne and Brisbane so does the author’s telling of her history,
taking us through her idyllic marriage before the war and back to her
lonely and at times isolated childhood in the West Australian
Goldfields.
Following the tragedy of World War II, the second part of the novel takes us to post-war
Brisbane as Aimée, now a penniless widow, brings up her two young sons.
