Publishers Description: In the titular character The Drovers Wife, Purcell has created a figure who is as resonant and significant as Ned Kelly. Lawsons original short story is reimagined vividly to portray the drovers heroic wife as a righteous avenger - on behalf of herself, her children and her race - in a savage male world. Challenging responses to family violence and black white relations. A taut thriller of our pioneering past, The Drovers Wife is full of fury, power, family love and intimate friendships. And has a black sting to the tail, reaching from our nations settled infancy into our complicated present.
