Description
Set against the backdrop of 1930s Australia, this haunting first novel explores the intersection of science and nature in a time of great change. As the government promotes the benefits of scientific farming, an unlikely couple must confront the consequences of their actions on the land they love.
The story follows Robert Pettergree and Jean Finnegan as they navigate the idealism of scientific progress and the harsh realities of rural life. With its unique blend of humour and quiet wisdom, this beautifully written novel captures the hope and disappointment of an era when perfection seemed within reach.
