Drown Them in the Sea

This evocative novel is a compellingly honest look at the dreams and desperate realities of life on the land in the Australian outback. With ultimate hopes of moving to a house by the sea, Milivan and his wife, Michelle, struggle to make ends meet on their riverside property in a small outback farming community. In this arid country, they face challenges from drought, neighbors, and the wrenchingly familiar rural cycle of hope and despair. In vivid language, this novel captures both the devastated landscape and the living human desire in this powerfully authentic story of life on the land.
