While Rose was looking forward to celebrating their 21st wedding
anniversary, her husband, Lewis, remained cold and detached, his
manner increasingly distant from the entire family. Rose knew that
Lewis carried his wartime experiences deep within -- experiences he
chose not to share. But there always seemed to be an even deeper
secret, something more personal. The opening chapter fills the
reader with a sense of foreboding that is not softened by the
excellent and evocative imagery throughout this novel of a family
farming in southern Tasmania in the 1960s. 'Worm in the Bud' -- set
in the farmlands of southern Tasmania -- will appeal to readers of
family stories, based on the relationships within the family, with
the intrigues between siblings, and the ups and downs of their
romantic affairs forming the background to the familys struggle to
survive the personal and economic pressures which threaten their
survival as a family. This novel will appeal to readers who enjoy
reconnecting with their own rural roots. People in rural districts
will recognise the realism of Junes ability to capture the
atmosphere of farming in the 1960s, realism springing from her own
farming background.
