By Margaret Hickey
From award-winning crime writer Margaret Hickey comes a collection of captivating short stories celebrating the Australian countryside
Margaret Hickey’s Rural Dreams takes a look at life outside the big smoke, featuring the kind of characters you might expect in the country, as well as some you might not.
A football coach ponders obsession. . . a mouse plague dictates school yard politics. . . a failed playwright asks “who gets the farm?”. . . and a young woman returns to her fire-ravaged town.
People we know. People we grew up with. Some of them might even be us. . .
Funny, heartbreaking and true to real life, Rural Dreams highlights the richness of life on the land and showcases the beauty of lives lived outside city walls.
