The Year of the Farmer

From the bestselling author of The Dressmaker comes a story of love, justice and survival in a country town at war with the elements and one another.

In a close-knit rural community, and espeically one plagued by years of drought and secrets, it doesn't take much to ignite an all-out war. Perhaps only a single spark. So when Neralie McIntosh returns from the city, hostilities immediately erupt between her old beau and his new wife, between farmers and townies; and, of course, the local Akubra-sporting politician is waiting in the wings for the chance to turn the whole mess to her advantage...
