AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'On a Queensland farm in the aftermath of World War II, Harry Vance's dream becomes his daughter-in-law's nightmare. Reminiscent of Chekhov's landlocked characters, those whose lives are circumscribed by Harry and his farm, Rosewood, long for empowerment and freedom of choice. Volatile energies and unspoken desires simmer beneath the surface of the Vances' world, which crumbles under irresistible pressures, bequeathing a legacy that enters the psyche as heartbreaking landscapes and haunting dreamscapes.' (Publisher's blurb)
