"The Gates of Memory" explores the profound impact of loss and memory on ordinary Australians during and after the Great War. It unveils the stories of those left behind, grappling with the absence of loved ones and the enormity of mass death. The book sheds light on the roles of women in mourning, the significance of Anzac Day as a day of grief, and how succeeding generations lived with these memories. It challenges conventional understandings of Australian history, prompting readers to reconsider the place of loss, memory, and mourning in shaping the nation's identity and collective experience.
