Marie-Louise Dalle’s story begins with the diary of her father’s voyage on the s/s Narkunda from Marseille to Adelaide in 1933 when he was 21 years old. Later, he marries Elza who had migrated to Australia with her family in the 30s depression. Together, Auguste and Elza raise a family. Marie is born during World War II, surrounded by the affection of an extended family that included a grandmother with a ‘sixth sense’, and a grandfather with a great gift for storytelling.

Marie reminisces about going to school, finding her calling as a teacher, marrying and raising a family of her own. She returns to teaching after her marriage breaks up, and in 1973 meets Domenic with whom she shares her life. Marie is now a proud grandmother, and her book, A Lucky Life, demonstrates it is now her turn to be the family storyteller.
