A stark and evocative portrayal of life on the edge of the Australian desert, where the land demands as much as it gives. Set in the harsh, beautiful landscape of Western Australia, The Mulga Trees follows the fortunes of the settlers and wanderers drawn to the goldfields and the vast pastoral stretches of the outback. From the acclaimed author of The Golden Miles, this novel captures the true grit of the Australian frontier experience during a time of rapid change and rugged endurance. Central to the story are those whose lives are inextricably linked to the red earth and the resilient mulga scrub—men and women forced to reconcile their dreams with the uncompromising reality of the bush. As the heat of the day gives way to the cold of the desert night, secrets buried in the dust begin to surface, threatening the fragile peace of the isolated community. In a land where water is gold and silence is a language of its own, can the inhabitants of the mulga country survive the shifting tides of fortune, or will the desert reclaim what was never truly theirs?
