The Butcher Shop first appeared in 1926. 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. 410 0$aNew Zealand fiction ;$v16. 606 $aFarm life$zNew Zealand$vFiction 606 $aWomen$xAbuse of$vFiction 607 $aNew Zealand$vFiction 608 $aNovels.$2lcgft 615 0$aFarm life 615 0$aWomen$xAbuse of 676 $a823 700 $aDevanny$b Jean$f1894-1962.$01711517 701 $aRoberts$b Heather$01711518 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813783903321 996 $aThe butcher shop$94102870 997 $aUNINA
