What did you love best about The Farmer's Wife?
The Farmer's Wife is a stark look at what happens after the fairytale ending, Rebecca as before is a frank, intelligent and witty voice of Australian rural women but instead of the rebel farming girl, she is a wife and mother in a lifeless marriage and surrounded by a dying farm.
A interesting mix of a fascinating new farming methods and New age philosophy. All the farming talk could be a little dry to people who are not familiar with rural life, but to me the characters are instantly reconizeable sometimes uncomfortably so, form the staid local farmers to picture perfect polished woman next door with hidden depth they are vividly drawn.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Rebecca even though she can be breathtaking proud and pig headed
Have you listened to any of Miranda Nation’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't listen to any other performances by Miranda Nation by it was excellent, it's easy to identify each character although her Spainish accent was a bit painful but what Australian can do a good Spainish accent?
If you could rename The Farmer's Wife, what would you call it?
I wouldn't it's a very good name
Any additional comments?
It's a wonderful book harsh and biting in places and inspiring in others, I loved it and I would recommend it whole heartedly
