Connie Mulligan, daughter of a fourth-generation Tasmanian dairy farmer, feels like she doesn't belong. She's out of sorts, and out of step - with her family, her community and her time, and it feels like nothing she does is right. But the story of how Connie Mulligan takes back control of her story and makes a life for herself will have you standing up and cheering. Earthy, funny, truthful and wise, this is Rachael Treasure at her emotional, heartfelt and feelgood best.
Rachael Treasure lives in Southern Tasmania with her two teenage children and partner, Daniel. Together they are restoring farming landscapes using regenerative agricultural methods. Her first novel, Jillaroo, blazed a trail in the Australian publishing industry for other rural women writers and is now considered an iconic work of contemporary Australian fiction. Rachael is a rural business graduate of Sydney University's Orange Agricultural College and has a Bachelor of Arts in creative writing and journalism from Charles Sturt University in Bathurst. She has worked as a journalist for Rural Press and ABC Rural Radio. Her dream is to never grow up and to one day live in a shearing shed. Milking Time is her eighth novel.
