O knihe
One woman. Two men. A war. Twenty-year-old Amelia marries Italo, a man she's never met. To escape an Italy reeling from the Great War, she sails to him in Far North Queensland to farm sugarcane. But before she meets her husband, she's thrown into the path of Fergus, a man who'll mark the rest of her life. Faced with a lack of English and hostility from established cane growers, caught between warring unions and fascists, Amelia's steady hand grows Italo's business to great success, only for old grudges to break into new revenge. She is tested by forces she couldn't foresee and must face her greatest challenge: learning to live again. Sweeping in its outlook, Sweet Bitter Cane is a family saga but also an untold story of migrant women - intelligent, courageous and enduring women who were the backbone of the sugarcane industry and who deserve to be remembered.
