Milking Time Dorothy Goddard

Formed from a melding of fantasy, fiction and earthy realism this somewhat seamy and sensual yarn spans the lives of an Australian farming family in a semitropical bush setting. Readers of all seasons are invited to become intimately involved in the unfolding fantasy of the fictional characters as unexpected events, fashioned from reality shape their lives. It is a book that entices our senses to become entwined in spiritual kinship with the powerful rhythmic personality of the landscape canvas and enjoy the threads of humour as the families and communities become bound together with enduring resilience. Within the aim of just being an enjoyable read there is also an attempt to confront and bring some of the dark issues into the light so before birth changes can be made to keep the children of the future safe.
