review 1: On dear.... What a disappointment . I have read previous books written by Treasure and thoroughly enjoyed them....alas this was not the case with The Farmers Wife. I hate reading a book where the author has an obvious agenda. If I want to know about environmentally friendly farming practices I will seek that information via the appropriate channels. I chose this book as I thought it would explore the struggles facing farming families intertwined with a relationship breakdown. I was wrong. There was no depth to the characters or their relationships. It appears Treasure intended to use the book as a medium for conveying her farming ideals. Very disappointing.
review 2: I loved reading The Jillaroo, it was the first Rachael Treasure book I read and have loved her ... morenovels ever since. However I did not enjoy The Farmer's Wife at all. I struggled to read it and found it was going all over the place. I was really disappointed that she made Charlie out to be so horrible and that their relationship was beyond repair (and I do realise that in reality this can be the case). But in the "world of novels" it's always nice to have in the back of your mind that there is some hope....I did not like the character of Sol and didn't think Rebecca and him made a good match. I was particularly disappointed with the ending - however it could be made into another novel.After reading this book, it makes it hard to go back and re-read The Jillaroo and enjoy it, it's kind of ruined it now. It's hard to think good thoughts about Charlie. :( less
