Philosophy by Stephen Law

City girl Paula married her lovely farmer, the only problem is he comes with a farm. Another heart-warming rural romance from the queen of Australian storytelling.

Self-reliant Sydney girl, Paula, is looking forward to a new life in the country. Just married to sheep farmer Dan Woodcroft, she can't wait to escape her protective family and exchange her busy existence for a new life down on the farm in rural South Australia.

But life on the farm proves rather different to what she was expecting. Why does everyone talk about the weather all the time? Why does no-one seem worried by the mice plague? And how is she supposed to feed all those shearers?

With Dan's brusque Aunt Rowena to contend with, his gorgeous ex-girlfriend showing up with a grudge and communication between her and Dan breaking down, Paula begins to question whether she can cope - is the life of a farmer's wife is really for her? Forecast: stormy weather.

Stephen Law is a philosopher, academic, and all-round polymath. He has written a number of bestselling introductions to philosophy for both adults and children including The Philosophy Files, The Philosophy Gym and A Very Short Introduction on Humanism.

He is a public speaker and has written for the Guardian, Independent on Sunday, Mail on Sunday, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Times, Newsweek, Aeon, and New Scientist magazine.
