Leah Purcell's novel The Drover's Wife and crime with Garry Disher, Emma Viskic and Jessica Chapnik Kahn

From stage to screen to page, Leah Purcell has taken Henry Lawson's 1890s story of a lone woman in a tough landscape and remade it as her own in The Drover's Wife: The Legend of Molly Johnson. And thrillers and crime stories with recurring characters.
