Summary:"The story follows the lives of five Australian teenagers and their battle to be accepted by their peers. Set in the 1960s amongst the backdrop of parental rebellion, sexual experimentation and individuals struggling to forge careers, The Set is an Antipodean Petyon Place with a touch of television's Desperate Housewives. Previously unpublished, The Set became a controversial motion picture in 1970, in an era when homosexuality was a taboo subject in Australia. It tackles the issues teenagers faced and is a true insight into uncertain times. This edition has been updated and edited for modern audiences."--Page 4 of cover.
