About this listen
With shades of Water for Elephants and True Grit, a stunning debut novel set in the Australian outback about a female horse thief, her bid for freedom, and the two men trying to capture her.
It is 1921. In a mountain-locked valley, Jessie is on the run.
Born wild and brave, by 26 she has already lived life as a circus rider, horse and cattle rustler, and convict. But on this fateful night she is just a woman wanting to survive, though there is barely any life left in her.
Two men crash through the bushland, desperate to claim the reward on her head: one her lover, the other the law. But as it has always been for Jessie, it is death, not a man, who is her closest pursuer and companion. And while all odds are stacked against her, there is one who will never give up on her - her own child, who awaits her.

"This extraordinary novel - propelled by the dark, rich talents of a truly brilliant writer - dazzles, staggers and amazes." (Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times best-selling author of Eat, Pray, Love)
[A] page-turner.... Jessie, the heroine of this tale set in 1920s Australia, sets her own compass. A horse thief and sometime circus performer, she's being pursued through the hills by her Aboriginal lover and a police sergeant. The chase will leave you breathless." (Good Housekeeping)
"Collins's gripping debut novel is based on a legendary wild woman.... A fast-paced, heart-wrenching story that never loses speed, this extraordinary first novel is not to be missed." (Library Journal, starred review)
