    If Blood Should Stain the Wattle...

    It's 1972 in Gibber's Creek, and across the nation, the catchcry is, 'It's time'. 
  
As political ideals drift from disaster to the dismissal, it's also time for Jed Kelly to choose between past love, Nicholas, the local Labor member, and Sam from the Halfway to Eternity commune. It's time too for Matilda Thompson to face her ghosts and the life that took a young girl from the slums of Grinder's Alley to being the formidable matriarch of Gibber's Creek. 
During this period of extraordinary social change and idealism, modern Australia would be born. And although the nation would dream of a better world, it would continue to struggle with opposing ideas of exactly what that better world might be. 
Jackie French, author of the bestselling To Love a Sunburnt Country, has woven her own experience of that time into an unforgettable story of a small rural community and a nation swept into the social and political tumult of the early 1970s. A time that would bear witness to some of the most controversial events in Australian history; and for Matilda, a time that would see her vision made real, without blood spilled upon the wattle. 
PRAISE FOR TO LOVE A SUNBURNT COUNTRY 
'a book about love of country that is heartwarming and heartbreaking, and hard to put down'

    In this award-winning sequel to Blue, Ann Fay’s family is back together, but much mending is needed. Ann Fay’s polio and her father’s post-war trauma stole the good life her family had before the war, before the polio, before the death of her little brother. Now, they are looking for comfort — “the kind  
that made you feel safe on the inside, instead of sad or worried. The kind that reminded you of how life was before some disaster snuck up and knocked you off your feet.” Once again, Ann Fay digs deep within trying to fix her family, and her determination brings an unexpected kind of comfort.
