The Family Frying Pan

Best selling Australian author. All of Bryce Courtenaye(tm)s books have achieved extraordinary sales figures. He was the winner of the 1998 and 1999 APA Who Weekly Readere(tm)s Choice Award. Mrs Moses is a small woman with a big heart and enormous courage. The only survivor of a Cossack raid on her village, she takes with her a big cast-iron frying pan, so heavy that she can only sling it over her back. Yet this is no ordinary frying pan - it's The Family Frying Pan, blessed with a Russian soul. From this frying pan Mrs Moses manages to feed the various refugees who are travelling with her across Russia to freedom. In return, each of the group must tell a story around the campfire at night - stories of compassion and bravery, of human frailty and, above all, of hope.
