Linked by a common hatred of their violent Old Man, The Ace and his younger brother Wild Billy Parkes hit the road into northern Australia to make their own history. Two very different brothers, one held by the past, the other grasping for the future, they grow into men among tough blokes who prefer silence to emotions. Their story, set in a landscape as harsh as the lives lived in it, is both desperate and filled with hope. There's the other country that is out there, and there is the other country within; what you make of each is up to you. Affecting and deeply resonant, Other Country is Stephen Scourfield's award-winning first novel.
