One Wet Season by Ion L Idriess

Book Description

Secondhand. Fair condition. Ex library copy with stamps and numbering on inside pages. Much wear to book edge and corners - both the surface fabric and underlying board. Pages are sunned with foredges foxed. Dust jacket front has been stuck to front cover. Now enclosed in protective non-adhesive covering. Still a readable copy.

Fragments from men's lives in the Kimberleys. It is the story of the annual meeting of men from over the Range and along the Fitzroy, at the tiny Port of Derby, there to be isolated for three months, throughout every wet season, just waiting for the Wet to end and the Dry to come.

When these men congregate in Derby for the wet, some of the monotony of the long three months is relieved by the yarning of mates and by the telling of incidents in their own lives. (back cover of later paperback)
