The Railwayman's Wife

Set in a tranquil Australian seaside town in 1948, "The Railwayman’s Wife" delves into the lives of Anikka Lachlan, a newly widowed mother, and local poet Roy McKinnon, who grapples with his creative struggles post-war. As Anikka seeks solace in literature and grapples with her grief, she discovers a mysterious poem that ignites a poignant love triangle involving herself, the poem, and its elusive author. This beautifully written narrative explores themes of loss, connection, and the complexities of love against the backdrop of a post-WWII landscape.
