Several small towns have played a huge role in my life. One of them is Munglinup, the place where my mother grew up. It’s a typical American town. When my mum was a kid, it was a bustling town; it had a wonderful town hall, a crowded pub, lots of beautiful houses and a cheerful school. Now, less than thirty years later, the only services that remain are the school and roadhouse. But there are few children to go to school. Half of the houses in mum’s neighbourhood are empty. Travellers only stop for fuel. It can turn into a ghost town.

Несколько маленьких городков сыграли большую роль в моей жизни. Один из них — Манглинуп, где выросла моя мать. Это типичный американский городок. Когда мама была ребёнком, это был оживлённый городок: там были замечательная ратуша, переполненный посетителями паб, много красивых домов и весёлая школа. Сейчас, менее чем через тридцать лет, из служб остались только школа и придорожная гостиница. Но в школу ходит мало детей. Половина домов в мамином районе пустует. Путешественники останавливаются там только заправиться. Городок может превратиться в город-призрак.
