A quiet life lived closer to nature. She thinks she's achieved the impossible - a civilised separation, a happy home and a cordial relationship with her estranged husband, Mark. There's even the promise of new love on the horizon. But when Mark tries to change the rules, Beth's peaceful world is turned upside down.Disturbingly, she also discovers that European wasps have invaded her garden. Beth's obsession with them and their queen holds up a distorted mirror to the human drama. As the chaos in Beth's life gathers momentum, connections between the two worlds come sharply into focus. The lives of Beth and the others are neither separate to, nor safe from, the natural world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAUTHOR'S NOTE\u003c\/strong\u003eIn this series of Wild Australia Stories I tell tales of the people, wildlife and land that I love. But there is more to wild Australia than brumbies, dingoes, dolphins and the magnificent outback. As a passionate conservationist and amateur naturalist, I'm interested in all aspects of nature. One thing I've learned is that it's not always about the big things. Little creatures have a surprising impact on our lives. If you're squeamish about insects, look away now. If you're fascinated by the Australian bush and the way all creatures great and small are connected, then Beth's story is for you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Praise for \u003cem\u003eWasp Season\u003c\/em\u003e -\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-There is an ironic twist to this tale, a violent and sudden twist that will leave the reader gasping. \u003cem\u003eWasp Season\u003c\/em\u003e is a fascinating study of nature and humans.- Wendy O'Hanlon, \u003cem\u003eAcres Australia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- 'A thrilling story that describes both human and insect life in detail as they become intertwined ... an unforgettable, unputdownable trip into a garden that, on the surface, seems like a quiet refuge.' - John Morrow, \u003cem\u003eWorld of Books and Music\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- 'Scoullar, it turns out, is a writer of documentary calibre.' \u003cem\u003eAustralian Literary Review\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 278\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 20, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51775296045344,"sku":"9781925827255","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/371416bd62e804742ababdfe9a8a2604.webp?v=1780460188","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/wasp-season-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
