On a bright hillside in Paradise
Higgs, Annette2023
Book
Told from five different points of view, each one revealing something different, "On a bright hillside in Paradise," tells the story of a family of convict descendants in the back-blocks of Tasmania, on a farm in a place called Paradise. They lead hard-scrabble lives. The drama begins when strangers arrive, Christian Brethren evangelists who hold big revival meetings in local barns. "On a bright hillside in Paradise" tackles big questions of faith and family but remains grounded in the dreams of its beautifully drawn characters. At its heart the novel is about a close-knit community, and home-making in the bush. Despite injuries, losses, deaths, and near-starvation the family survives.
