Search Tips
In order to get more accurate results, our search has the following Google-Type search functionality:
+
If you use '+' in front of a word, then that word will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry +Potter will return results with the word 'Potter'.
-
If you use '-' in front of a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry -Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.
ex: Harry OR Potter will return results with just 'Harry', results with just 'Potter' and results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, then that word will be absent in the search results.
ex: Harry NOT Potter will return results without the word 'Potter'.
""
Placing '""' around words will perform a phrase search. The search results will contain those words in that order.
ex: "Harry Potter" will return any results with 'Harry Potter' in them, but not 'Potter Harry'.
*
Using '*' in a word will perform a wildcard search. The '*' signifies any number of characters. Searches can not start with a wildcard.
ex: Pot*er will return results with words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er'. In this case, 'Potter' will be a match.

Josie Young wants a life of her own. It is 2012. She is almost forty, restless, searching, dissatisfied. She has no partner and no passion for her job. Her spare time is dominated by caring for her beloved father and grandmother who are both struggling. While cleaning out her grandmother’s house, Josie makes a discovery about her long-dead grandfather, Will Young, that mystifies her and prompts her to investigate …
In 1943, Will has survived fighting in the Middle East and on the Kokoda Track. In Sydney on leave, he meets an attractive older woman, Gwen, whose husband is a prisoner of the Japanese. Will and Gwen engage in an ardent affair, though the couple face an uncertain future and agonising decisions.
As Josie’s research into Will’s life leads her into a tangled story of secrets and deception, she must confront moral dilemmas and navigate difficult paths of her own. Through her experiences of love, loss, and the inter-generational legacies of war, Josie is propelled in new directions.
Casualties of Love is a passionate and moving story of memory, war and impossible choices. Together with The Blessing and A Winter Sowing it forms a loose trilogy featuring several generations of the Young family.
