Set among scorched inland country, restless oceans and rugged terrain, these tales follow people caught on the edge of desire, grief and change, where the natural world presses close and nothing stays neatly contained.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eIn ‘Poached’, an ex-soldier is stranded in a tense encounter between a poacher and a Bengal tiger; in ‘The Wash’, a reckless swim becomes a turning point in survival and love. Across the collection, Simpson writes with quiet precision about longing, motherhood, ageing and the ways landscape can both shelter and expose us.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003ePerfect for readers who love literary short stories, nature writing, and emotionally astute, character-driven storytelling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eAdd it to your shelf and let these fierce, tender pieces draw you in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dear Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52343333388564,"sku":"9780733651014","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6460\/0596\/files\/9780733651014_1.jpg?v=1776063849","url":"https:\/\/dearvillage.com.au\/products\/once-we-were-wildlife","provider":"Dear Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
