Description
On Tiney Flynn's seventeenth birthday, every church bell tolled as if heralding a new year, a new era. Tiney stood in the garden, purple jacaranda petals fluttering down around her. One by one, her sisters came outside to join her; first Nette, then Minna, and lastly Thea. It was 11 November 1918. Armistice Day.
For Tiney and her sisters, everything is about to change, but not in the way they might have imagined. Building peace is complicated; so is growing up. From tragedy to undreamt-of joy, from weddings to seances, from masked balls to riots in the streets, Tiney's world will be transformed.
At the end of the war and the dawn of the Jazz Age, Tiney Flynn must face her greatest fears and begin a journey that will change her destiny.
The Year It All Ended marks a pivotal moment in Tiney's life and showcases the complexities of post-war reality, combining historical drama with a deeply personal coming-of-age story.

The Year It All Ended by Kirsty Murray is praised for its spare and swift storytelling, capturing the emotional depth of an Australian family dealing with the aftermath of World War I. The narrative centres on four sisters with German heritage, navigating a world where they are outnumbered by women, while the youngest embarks on a healing journey to Flanders. Geraldine Brennan from the Observer highlights the book's exploration of themes like family and healing in a post-war landscape.
