When a young Englishwoman named Jennifer Morton leaves London to visit relatives on their sheep ranch in the Australian outback, she falls in love both with the gloriously beautiful country and with Carl, a Czech refugee who was a doctor in his own land and now works as a lumberjack. They are brought together through dramatic encounters and strange twists of fate, but their relationship hangs in the balance when Jennifer is called back to England.

The Far Country
A very appealing book describing immigrants to Australia after WWII learning to love their new country.
And a sweet love story too.
The Far Country
Nevil Shute wrote so many great stories, discerning top one is difficult; however, this is beyond question at the top of the list along with A Town Like Alice, Trustees and Piped Piper. He was a master story teller who was the furthest from a formula writer as you can find. He wrote from his heart and brain as only a brilliant engineer can soar.
The far country
Have read this book years ago many times, now I have it on my phone and I just read it twice. I love the way the story is told and the way in which the accents are put forward in writing and the description of my country at the wars end. Just a very compelling book LOVED IT
