$18.16
No Stone Unturned centres around the story of Yvonne Matta, an Australian woman of Lebanese parents who returns to the 'old country' in 1960 where she meets her future husband. After marrying, she spends two years in Vermont, USA before living in Lebanon through the 1960s and early 70s. In 1975 she returns to Australia with her children following the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War. The book also tells the story of Yvonne's parents and maternal grandparents who emigrated from Lebanon to Australia at various times in the late 19th and 20th Centuries, her great uncle who emigrated to Brazil, and her husband, Youssef 'Joe' Matta, and his involvement in municipal politics in the Beirut suburbs. This memoir provides many glimpses and insights into life in Lebanon and Australia through much of the 20th Century.
