Maiden Webb

In post-war Wynnum, Queensland, six sisters grow up in a world shaped by salt air, hardship, destiny, and the quiet rituals of everyday life. Maiden Webb is a tender autobiographical novel about Launa, Dad, and the daughters whose lives are formed by love, loss, and survival. Set against the bayside streets, cinemas, kitchens, and coastline of mid-century Australia. This is a story of ordinary people carrying extraordinary burdens with humour, resilience, and grace. At its heart, Maiden Webb is a family story: intimate, nostalgic, and deeply human. It explores how grief is inherited, how memory preserves what history forgets, and how place can shape a life as powerfully as blood. Written with warmth, honesty, and lyrical affection, Maiden Webb is for readers who love Australian stories, family memoirs, historical fiction, and novels rich with tenderness, character, and the ache of memory.
