The Dog Rock

By Miriel Lenore

Following the success of drums & bonnets, Miriel Lenore takes us on a new poetic journey to find her great-great-grandmother, Sarah. In the Dog Rock Sarah escapes with husband and children from the rural poverty and riots of the 1830s in Sussex to settle on the western slopes of the Dividing Range in New South Wales.

In this compelling volume, Lenore threads past with present, the social and political with the personal. Tragedy and quiet achievement underscore the complex effects of religion in the life of this first settler at Dog Rock where her family still live and farm. Once again, Lenore's sensitive vision, economy and strength of narrative continue to delight.
