The Cousin From Fiji
''The Cousin from Fiji'' (1945) is a novel by Australian writer and artist Norman Lindsay. Story outline In the 1890s, 18-year-old Ella Belairs returns home to Ballarat, and her relatives the Domkins, after spending her childhood in Fiji. Critical reception The reviewer in ''The Argus'' found merit but also some shortcomings: "Each character is a visual image, plus an abstraction. They live in a void; you can't guess where they came from, how they got that way. Those still physically attractive are physical attraction and nothing else. All the others are symbolic grotesques. There isn't, of course, a single adult in the book. In literature, as in drawing, Mr Lindsay's art - beauties, wowsers, pirates, foul fiends, terrifying seniors - is a picture of the reveries of adolescence still in revolt against the taboos of the Victorian age." In ''The Sydney Morning Herald'', the reviewer found a lot to like about the book: "It is certain that Norman Lindsay will be accused of caricat ...
