Restless Dolly Maunder by Kate Grenville

Born into the sweat and drudgery of a New South Wales sheep farm at the end of the 19th century, Dolly Maunder is different to her siblings.

She will do whatever it takes to be the woman she deserves to be. Dolly pushes the boundaries of what is 'proper' and what a wife and mother ought to do, as war spreads across Europe and the rules are forever changed.

But every life has its limits… Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2024.
