Natalie King married Milt almost thirty-five years ago and during that time has endeavoured to be an ideal wife devoting herself to her family as well as assisting to run the family property. She also continued to teach part-time at the local primary school but after facing a medical emergency she realises that not only has she lost her identity she has also lost faith in her marriage. Natalie needs time out from the family routine and, when her husband says he is too busy to go on holiday with her, she decides to go alone.
Author, Tricia Stringer, has set the location for the novel on a property in South Australia and also in the town of Broome and its surrounding area in Western Australia. The book deals not only with the relationship between Natalie and Milt but also examines individual decisions facing the couple's three adult daughters.
Readers who enjoy reading the books of Monica McInerney and Maeve Binchy should enjoy this book.
