West of the town of Wirri in northern New South Wales, between the two world wars, poor farmers scrape a living from the land, and at country shows riders ride their horses at fences taller than a man. The novel follows the Nancarrow family across two generations on their dairy farm, their luck rising and falling with the land, and the love between Noah and Rowley, in a world where tenderness and cruelty sit side by side and dreams turn inside out.
