Australian Fiction
Australian grazier Maddy Rainforth breathes one dream: producing the finest Merino wool the world has ever seen. But farming in Australia is punishing – Maddy must battle and adapt to devastating drought, bushfires, dust storms and the attitudes of a growing industry ruled by the old ways.
Out of the ashes of the catastrophic years of World War Two, haute couture rises in popularity and European ateliers search the world over for quality fleece and fabric. Soon the prestigious Paris Wool Prize comes knocking, asking for more than Maddy can give. Can she compete on the global stage when the odds are stacked against her?
