Om She'll Be Right, Mate
Set in northern Tasmania and the Bega area of New South Wales, Greta Harvey's latest novel takes us from convict days to recent times. The hardships of a convict ship are nothing compared to the struggles of a widowed cattle farmer during drought, and the clandestine domestic violence of a highly regarded professional against his long suffering wife, who finally makes a brave move to find happiness.
There are twins separated at birth and a complicated romance. Was it the best outcome for all? Throughout the story, there is love of not just family, but also of an amiable First Nations family whose lives are intertwined with the landholding family they work for.
If you love stories of rural Australia, and family sagas filled with twists and hope, this story is for you.
Greta's first historical novel, She'll Be Right, Mate is a family story with ups and downs, with coincidences and similarities between generations which will have you wanting more answers, and another book to follow.
