Produktbeschreibung
No Nervous Lady is more than the story of a young couple who try to solve their marriage problems by embarking on a tree change. It is also the personal story of a young woman, Jann, who is committed to the survival of her family and her relationship with the man she loves. Set during a time of social and political change - the aftermath of the Vietnam War, the rising wave of new feminism, a growing conservation movement - this is the tale of a woman who is caught in an uncertain marriage during tumultuous upheavals in society. Jann is a woman of pioneering stock who, influenced by the ideas of the feminist movement, chooses to test her temperament by confronting the challenges of bush living. No Nervous Lady is told against the backdrop of Jann and her husband building a mud-walled home with the earth and timber from their own bush property. Jann has hopes that their daily hard-working life and their efforts to be self-sufficient will re-bond them and provide new zest to their marriage. But is it ever that easy? Such a journey - physically and emotionally! But, through it all, Jann's resilience and optimism shine through. No tale of woe here, but a story that will inspire and have you cheering at the end.
