Repentance
Alison Gibbs
In the small country town of Repentance, during the hot summer of 1976, the practices of local farming families clash with the opposing world views of the new-age arrivals, who are determined to make a stand over the spiritual versus economic value of the land.
An accomplished and powerful novel for readers of Hope Farm by Peggy Frew, Bruny by Heather Rose, and Mateship with Birds by Carrie Tiffany. In vivid, striking prose, Repentance examines a community tearing itself apart over environmental issues that continue to affect the world today.
