In 1970, celebrated author Elizabeth Jolley embarked on a new chapter of her life, purchasing a five-acre rural property in the hills outside Perth. Diary of a Weekend Farmer captures the essence of this transition, chronicling her experiences as a small-scale landholder. Through a collection of personal diary extracts, Jolley offers a candid, humorous, and poignant look at the challenges and rewards of rural life.
The narrative beautifully illustrates the rhythmic cycle of the seasons, from the arduous tasks of planting and nurturing to the trials of drought, fire, and flood. Accompanied by thirteen evocative paintings by Evelyn Kotai, the book serves as more than a simple record; it is a meditation on the human connection to the land. Fans of Jolley’s fiction will find particular fascination in discovering the real-life origins of the imagery and thematic depth that define her celebrated literary works. This is a beguiling, intimate portrait of a life lived close to the soil, reflecting the resilience and joy found in the rhythm of the farm.
