Dear Fran, Love Dulcie

Life and Death in the Hills and Hollows of Bygone Australia

Beschreibung

When Dulcie Clarke picks up her fountain pen to write her first letter to her pen friend, Fran, she is unaware that their friendship will continue for decades. Both are newly-weds; Dulcie has a baby girl and Fran is expecting a baby. But there the similarities end. Fran is a Detroit city girl enjoying modern conveniences. Dulcie is a pineapple farmer's wife enduring the extremes of Australia. Bushfires, floods, cyclones, droughts, dingo attacks and accidents are all too common. Regardless, Dulcie's optimism shines through, revealing her love of the land and fascination for the wild creatures that share her corner of Queensland. Each book purchased will help support Careflight, an Australian aero-medical charity that attends emergencies, however remote.

Autor

Victoria Twead is a New York Times bestselling author. In 2004 Victoria Twead nagged poor, long-suffering Joe into leaving Britain and relocating to a tiny, remote mountain village in Andalucía where they became reluctant chicken farmers and owned the most dangerous cockerel in Spain. Village life inspired Victoria’s first book, Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools, which was quickly followed by more, all of which fast became Amazon bestsellers. Victoria and Joe continue to enjoy life raising chickens, writing, helping authors publish their books, sampling the local wine and living alongside their colourful neighbours.
