Bob Randolph, a veteran of World War Two, finds a job working in the kitchen of
Riverslake, a workers hostel just outside Canberra. He witnesses 'New
Australians' being subjected to racism and discrimination - while he's subjected
to the attentions of a married woman.
'This is a fierce book, swept by sudden gusts of savage anger against things
that are happening and chances that are being wasted in Australia today. It gets
to the very heart of the migrant assimilation problem.' - News (Adelaide), 1953
'T.A.G. Hungerford has written a first-class Australian novel, a novel which
should bring him recognition far beyond the English-speaking world.' - Emery
Barcs, The Daily Telegraph, 1953
First published in 1953, Riverslake is one of the earliest novels to be set in
Canberra and remains one of the few to be set in the nation's capital; its
subject - immigration and assimilation - remains as current as it ever was. It
was serialised for ABC Radio in 1953.
