Synopsis
This book travels to an Australian farm at the turn of the last century, taking readers on a nostalgic trip through a year in the life of a family living off the land. Experience the hot summer days of gruelling work, warm evenings filled with joyous family gatherings, and a thrilling trip to the big smoke. Told from the perspective of family members, the narrative is a heartwarming snapshot of rural life in the era before mechanisation, a time of hard work and simple pleasures. Woven into the family’s story are social observations of the time, and insights into the broader Australian historical and cultural context. The author's richly descriptive prose brings the sights, sounds, and smells of a working farm to life, inviting the reader to see the world through the eyes of his characters. The book serves as both an educational account of an important era in Australian history, and a poignant human drama.
