No Nervous Lady
Resilience and heartache in the Australian bush
About the Book
No Nervous Lady is more than the story of a young couple who try to solve their marriage problems by embarking on a tree change. It is also the personal story of a young woman, Jann, who is committed to the survival of her family and her relationship with the man she loves.
Setting and Themes
Set during a time of social and political change - the aftermath of the Vietnam War, the rising wave of new feminism, a growing conservation movement - this is the tale of a woman who is caught in an uncertain marriage during tumultuous upheavals in society. Jann is a woman of pioneering stock who, influenced by the ideas of the feminist movement, chooses to test her temperament by confronting the challenges of bush living.
The Building of a Home
No Nervous Lady is told against the backdrop of Jann and her husband building a mud-walled home with the earth and timber from their own bush property. Jann has hopes that their daily hard-working life and their efforts to be self-sufficient will re-bond them and provide new zest to their marriage. But is it ever that easy?
Journey and Inspiration
Such a journey - physically and emotionally! But, through it all, Jann's resilience and optimism shine through. No tale of woe here, but a story that will inspire and have you cheering at the end.
