Description Alone, equipped only with anecdotes, Grace breathes life into the two women of her family who have lead her to the Australian landscape.
The Folding Wife contrasts the iconic imagery of a fierce, impenetrable Australian landscape with that of the resilient Filipina. Three generations of women shared a goal: to leave the poverty and uncertainty of their homeland for the promises of the First World.
