Both found considerable support in New Zealand and Australia. In Australia, this movement gave rise to an architectural phenomenon called Coffee Palaces ? elaborate buildings offering tea rooms, reading rooms, restaurants, accommodation and stabling, all with the promise of a peaceful environment undisturbed by rowdy drinkers.They were, in effect, alcohol-free hotels which, by the 1880s, could be found in every city and most towns in the country. Some were grand indeed.The Coffee Palace in Berrigan, in the New South Wales Riverina, was a vast, 16-room building which was a feature of the town. It was built to service locals and travellers arriving by horse, coach or on the newly opened railway. It was, over the years, a prominent part of the story of a community, but less visible and less known was the personal story ? that of the family which built and operated the Berrigan Coffee Palace. Midst the hardship and heartache, there is the story of innovation, determination and innovation, and the fulfillment of a dream.In this novel, Adèle Ogiér Jones tells that story in lilting, flowing prose which evokes both the time and the Irish background of most of the characters. It tells of love and laughter, joy and tragedy. It is utterly compelling.… (mer)
