Locust Summer - David Allan-Petale

On the cusp of summer, 1986, Rowan Brockmans mother asks if he can come home to Septimus in the Western Australian Wheatbelt to help with the harvest. Rowans brother Albert, the natural heir to the farm, has died, and Rowans dads health is failing. Although he longs to, there is no way that Rowan can refuse his mothers request as she prepares the farm for sale. This is the story of the final harvest -- the story of a young man in a place he does not want to be, being given one last chance to make peace before the past, and those he has loved, disappear.
