 Stephen Daisley’s second book, Coming Rain is due out in May. Stephen won the Prime Minister’s Literary Award in 2011 for his first book Traitor. Coming Rain follows the changing fortunes of shearers Lew and Painter as they travel the WA wheat belt. Stephen Daisley beautifully captures the nature of rural life; of the profound satisfaction in hard work done with care; of love and friendship and the damage that both contain. You can pre-order this deeply moving book now.
