Two generations pursue one healing Australian dream
Vintage book in Fair Condition – noticeable cover, binding and edge wear with heavy page tanning and a torn page edge.
Newly qualified nurse Alix Macfarlane leaves her wealthy Adelaide home for the wild and dangerous heart of Australia at the beginning of the twentieth century. She marries Queensland cattleman Jim Manning and defies convention by building a clinic for Aboriginal communities. When Jim enlists in the First World War and is killed in Palestine, Alix is left with their baby daughter, Caro, and an unfinished dream. Set against the unforgiving outback, this sweeping historical novel follows two generations of women whose courage ultimately helps bring medical care from the skies through the flying doctor service.
