About the Book:
A novel of family and place. An Australian family, five generations old. Transgressions, taboos, secrets, shames. Progressing through the generations. Hidden within the family. Unspoken. Unacknowledged. Madness, illegitimacy, miscegenation, murder. But also, love." Finding the stories within the gaps, the spaces in the remembering and forgetting, Finding Theodore and Brina is a testament to the delicacy and complexity of family and relationships. Intimate, intricate and deeply absorbing it illuminates lost lives and rescues individuals from the margins of history.

About the Author:

Praise for
Finding Theodore and Brina

Finding Theodore and Brina is an extraordinary memoir, delivered in pieces and made whole through a combination of imagination and artefacts. The result is a rich collage that explores history, sociology, psychology, geography and philosophy across a spectrum of short stories with differing perspectives that combine into cohesive and powerful narrative.
–Magdalena Ball, Compulsive Reader website, 2025

The book works wonderfully as fiction, but all my instincts tell me Finding Theodore and Brina is White’s innovative way of writing a version of her family history.
–Donna Lee Brien, Text, 2001
