The Far Country
by Nevil Shute
Jennifer escaped the gloomy monotony of post-war London. When he landed in Australia, it was like coming home. He liked it and had every reason to stay when he met Carl. But the two came from completely different worlds, and Neville Shute tells a unique story of how they made a living together. With warmth and understanding, as well as his natural love for the people he creates, the author portrays his heroes and the pioneering country in which they live.
