Despite big overseas sales it was banned in New Zealand and later Australia for being disgusting, indecent and communistic - in other words for promoting revolutionary ideas about women and for a bold portrayal of the brutality of farm life. On one level, the novel is a fast-paced account of how passion and jealousy destroy the lives of a rich and cultured farming family; on another it is a fierce polemic for the freedom of women, which in its frankness was years ahead of its time.New Zealand fiction ;16.Farm lifeNew ZealandFictionWomenAbuse ofFictionNew ZealandFictionNovels.lcgftFarm lifeWomenAbuse of823Devanny Jean1894-1962.1481825Roberts Heather1481826MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787761503321The butcher shop3699071UNINA
