O knihe
In a haunting romance set in Australia's far north in the middle of the twentieth century, Calum, a white ringer (cowboy), and Doreen, a mixed-descent girl, never once doubt their love even though, as a couple, they're disparaged by most whites. Calum joins a cattle drive-after he's proven that he can handle both himself and the wild horse he is given to ride. >p>Enter Doreen, who has just been rescued by her mum from a mission school where she was treated badly by the Big Father. A chance encounter brings them together for the first time, but both of them believe their meeting was destined, regardless of what lies ahead for them. Through their experiences and those of the people around them, the racial discrimination that marked Australia's twentieth century-the tragedy of Australia's Stolen Generation, the murder of Aborigines, and the abduction and rape of Aboriginal girls-becomes the backdrop for this powerful love story. Long Creek offers an uplifting and beautiful romance and provides insight into the cattle-ranching life in a sparsely populated, beautiful, and unforgiving land.
