Title: The Drover's Wife - the Legend of Molly Johnson
Description: Hamish Hamilton 2019 Paperback, 280pp. The Drover's Wife is utterly authentic, brilliantly plotted, thoroughly harrowing and entirely of our times exploring race, gender, violence and inheritance. Deep in the heart of Australia's high country, along an ancient, hidden track, lives Molly Johnson and her four surviving children, another on the way. Husband Joe is away months at a time droving livestock up north, leaving his family in the bush to fend for itself. Molly's children are her world, and life is hard and precarious with only their dog, Alligator, and a shotgun for protection; but it can be harder when Joe's around. (ISBN: 9780143791478). Good.
