Description
In this uniquely Australian anthology of short stories we traverse the country known by Australians as the ‘wide brown land’. You will be introduced to a Bachelors & Spinsters Ball, memories of yesteryear’s Cracker Nights, Aussie nicknames and the dangers of our wildlife, all written by gifted sassy women who have learned to live in a harsh, unforgiving land with irreverent humour, optimism and grace. The women in this collection bring boundless energy and imagination with sharp observation. They skilfully explore life with poignancy, wry humour and a crisp flair for suspense, delivering a lively read that will not disappoint, as the authors embrace life in it's chaos, beauty and hilarity. Features: Christina Batey, Linda Ruth Brooks, Julie Cochrane, Louise Elizabeth, Mary Gabb, Jo Hanrahan, Marilyn Linn, Neridah Kentwell, Jane McLean, Helen Marshall, Victoria Norton, Rina Robinson, Jo Tregellis, Linda Visman, Pauline Young.
