AbstractHistoryArchive Description

This pastoral novel, set in an Australian sheep-farming valley, surrounded by wild mountains among whose high solitudes men may find wisdom and peace, unfolds the lives of highly individual people who have become part of the land they love. It traces the heartbreak of an impossible marriage, the doubts of a reluctant bachelor and conveys the satisfaction and genuine romance of family life. (Source: dustjacket)
