Timms , Alma Timms , Sydney : Angus and Robertson , 1962 Z273946 1962 single work novel historical fiction This is the story of the Big Country that lies around and beyond the Darling River in the far west of New South Wales. Here, in the year 1874, a beautiful half-cast girl, Jenny Courage, is searching for her father, the white man who abandoned her mother and on whom she means to be revenged. After working as a stewardess on a ferry boat, Jenny becomes a housekeeper on an isolated station. And it is there that Jenny, torn by conflicting passions of love and hate, comes by strange and violent ways to the end of her quest. (Publisher's blurb)
