"Heart-warming and hilarious".~ Steven Lamb, author and presenter, River Cottage UK

What happens when you leave city life and move to five acres on a hunch, with a husband who’s an aspiring alpaca-whisperer, and a feral cockerel for company? Can you eat the cockerel for dinner? Or has it got rigor mortis? 

Apple Island Wife is a travel memoir, a loving evocation of Tasmania and a hilarious account of the new, slower way of living dreamt of by many in the modern world. Written during the author's first five years on five acres in northern Tasmania, it was picked up by UK publisher Unbound and released in  December 2018. Since then it has consistently received five star reviews in all global territories. Beautifully designed and written, it is the perfect holiday book.
