Summary
This book is about kindness. The various forms that it takes, sometimes taking up residency in unlikely people and places, the new and old threats and problems that bedevil it and the mystery that flows through it. When a young boy, Roy is brought by his family to Australia from Scotland, and builds a life from a skilled craft through establishing, buying and changing a range of businesses, including furniture manufacturing and information technology. The journey is infused with love and kindness but tormented by the failure to provide interesting, creative and productive working lives. Attempts to blend function, beauty and employment into the design of work is a search plagued by pressures to change in order to survive in increasingly competitive markets and industry and workplace politics. The journey takes him outside the walls of factories and offices into the wider lives of people, their courage and suffering. Bitter economic winds blow through these lives in ways that sharpen the cruelty of daily life. For some, struggle is an entrenched way of life and adapting to it becomes a cherished skill. Roy and his family and friends search for ways to counter the affliction of harsh treatment that the world imposes.
