The Scarred

Isabel Lynch

The Scarred belongs to high-level dramatic literature. The author leads us by way of the two central characters into the territory of childhood loneliness and abandonment. The action takes place in the slums of Sydney Australia in the immediate Pre-Post World War II time frame and follows the lives of George and Becky into adulthood. Racketeering, sex, prostitution, sadism, brutality and murder follow in the wake of their individual search for love.
