The story is a fascinating one, following two children who are given up for adoption and subsequently deported to Australia as part of the mass deportations of children in care after World War II. The development of the relationship between the two sisters and their gran, that between their mother and her partner, and between the sisters themselves, contributed to the power of the story to draw the reader in. Among them—without their family's consent or knowledge—are Rita and Rosie, the throwaway children. Excerpted from The Throwaway Children by Diney Costeloe.
