It may initially appear as if this novel is
solely about the inhabitants of a small
Australian farming town stuck in the drought
years. However, Rosalie Ham’s new novel is
more than an exposé of a suffering town’s
population; it is also a political commentary
on the issue of water distribution. It’ll take a
woman to fix that misery, and in the manner
of The Dressmaker, her much-loved debut
novel, Ham introduces us to the woman
who may be able to do so: Neralie, who
is back in town to run the local pub. Ham
writes about lost loves, families, friendships
and the pain of being isolated. Her ability
to capture a character is gloriously evident,
as is her innate warmth and witticism. A
delightful read.
