Dresses of Red and Gold

The Melling sisters trilogy is All in the Blue Unclouded Weather (1991), Dresses of Red and Gold (1992) and The Sky in Silver Lace (1995). Klein takes the ordinary moments in the lives of the Melling girls living in 1940s rural Australia - sibling tiffs, playground politics - and turns their lows into agony, and their highs into triumphs.
