Publisher's Summary
A tale of longing, loss and growing love under the bright Australian sun.
It's 1921, and the Great War has left in its wake untold tragedy, not only in lives lost but in the guilt of survivors, the deep-set scars of old wounds and the sting of redoubled bigotries.
In the tiny hamlet of Sunshine, on the far-flung desert's edge, three very different ex-servicemen - Jack Bell, an Aboriginal horseman; Snow McGlynn, a laconic, curmudgeonly farmer and Art Lovelee, an eccentric engineer - find themselves sharing a finger of farmland along the Darling River, and not much else. That is, until Art's wife, Grace, a battle-hardened nurse, gets to work on them all with her no-nonsense wisdom.
Told with Kim Kelly's inimitable wit and warmth, Sunshine is a very Australian tale of home, hope and healing, of the power of growing life and love and discovering that we are each other's greatest gifts.

Another Wonderful Story
Kim Kelly is probably my favourite Australian historical fiction writer and this small novel was again fantastic. Providing insight into an important era of Australian history with wonderfully realised characters and a story that made me laugh, cry in anger and sadness. Highly recommend.
