"The River was my Rubicon. I had heard stories about the terrible Wilberforce: so many people had drowned in it."  A great opener to a beautiful book about the author's life at the wild and remote Mount Algidus Station, with lots of black and white photos. Anderson is a warm, engaging and never pretentious writer - she tells a great story of rural life in the 1950s. This is an NZ classic - one to read and keep.
