I'm back in a farm-lit reading phase. I needed some space after writing/living in the genre - but so glad to have picked up two of the latest books by Australian authors. One hilarious, the other hauntingly thoughtful and beautiful. What are your favourite farmlit books? Are they funny or sobering?
