What happens when you leave city life and move to five acres, with a husband who's an aspiring alpaca-whisperer, and a feral cockerel for company? Can you eat the cockerel for dinner? Or has it got rigor mortis?
In search of the good life, English couple Fiona and Oliver Stocker upped-sticks and moved to Tasmania, a land of promise, wilderness, and family homes of uncertain build quality. It was the lifestyle change that many dream of and most are too sensible to attempt.
This charming tale captures the euphoria and tussles of living on the land, raising your family where you want to, and seeing your husband in a whole new light. Not just a memoir, but an everywoman's story, and a window onto a new, slower age.
'Apple Island Wife is both heart-warming and hilarious. Filled with raw, honest real-life accounts of trying to attain the good life fueled with a pioneering spirit and a positive attitude. Compulsive reading for anyone who has ever thought they are not living the life they should!'
