CBCA Notables 2023. 1914, brink of war – Gretta, daughter of a German businessman, is enjoying a privileged life in Singapore. Tilly, daughter of a German-born baker, enjoys a modest life in Australia. But the outbreak of the war in far-off Europe means that those around them now see them as enemies, and their heritage is now the target of prejudice. Both are taken with their families and interned at a camp in rural New South Wales, far away from everything they’ve ever known – here they learn new connections and new community.
