AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Gippsland tale of a brickworks owner's financial ruin through a bank closure and the faithful love of a school teacher at a government bush school. She marries him despite his own and her father's financial collapse. Prosperity follows them on to their farm. [Longwood; Wild Dog Creek - true towns in Gippsland?] Oddly disjointed narrative: rich landscape descriptions and a blurred plot. Includes scenes at a closed brick works; outside the collapsed bank; on the farm where the bush teacher resides; on a country wedding at Longwood. Touches of rustic simplicity and humour. (PB)
