The Shifting Light by Alice Camion
An Australian novel set in the present time. About rural properties in outback NSW. Nina is an artist following in her father's footsteps. She has an artist's retreat and her friend Izzy brings artists to Nina's property to paint outback scenes.
Lachlan is a cousin of Nina's father.
One of the visiting artist's has a sketch of Lachlan. Nina and her friend Izzy go searching for Lachlan in the city.
This novel is about artists, families, secrets and rural life.
Another rural Australian book I enjoyed was The Right Place by Carla CarusoThis was a novel set in South Australia in the present time with flash backs to the 1950’s. It was about a young woman, Nella who inherits her grandmother’s house and market garden. Nella spends time at her grandmother’s house cleaning and packing up a house full of memories. Nella gradually learns to cook using her grandmother’s cook books and also develops a relationship with her Adrian. As a child Nella spent a lot of time with Adrian and his twin brother Davide. Adrian owns the market garden next door, and also has a lease on Nella’s market garden.This is a romance novel about family relationships, friendships, market gardens and cooking. Throughout is a scattering of Italian recipes using fresh farm produce.
