A pitch-perfect rural romance of community and family from the bestselling author of Bottlebrush Creek.

'...imbued with such deep empathy for everything country, we can't get enough of Maya's fictitious McIntyre family.' Australian Country

'Maya's books reek of authenticity and celebrate everything that's wonderful about small-town living' - Cassie Hamer, top 10 of 2021

Bush nurse Lara McIntyre and journalist Toby Paxton are thrust into the limelight when an accident puts the beating heart of their community in jeopardy.

The small country town of Bridgefield can't manage without their general store and post office, but Lara can't stomach the idea of out-of-town buyers revamping it with no regard for what the residents want or need. She's also unsure about where Toby's allegiances lie in this fight.

Loyalties are put to the test as the locals attempt to save the shop, with personal agendas, old grudges and misunderstandings threatening their best efforts.

Featuring a black-tie ball, a fun run, a magpie called Vegemite and a snake-chasing kelpie called Basil, Magpie's Bend is a story about rural lives, family, love and letting go.
