Shortlisted for The Australian Vogel' s Literary Award, Locust Summer celebrates the wide-open beauty of Australia' s regions while exploring the heartbreaks that come from living on the land. On the cusp of summer, 1986, Rowan Brockman' s mother asks if he can come home to Septimus in the Western Australian Wheatbelt to help with the harvest. Rowan' s brother Albert, the natural heir to the farm, has died and Rowan' s dad' s health is failing. Although he longs to, there is no way that Rowan can refuse his mother' s request as she prepares the farm for sale. This is the story of the final harvest - the story of a young man in a place he doesn' t want to be, being given one last chance to make peace before the past, and those he has loved, disappear.
