THE HANDS: AN AUSTRALIAN PASTORAL
Book ID/图书代码： 14058015B80283
English Summary/英文概要： He didn’t look like he could jump a bull, but she knew he could. It was all in the hands, he’d often explain. The will. The bloody mindedness. On a cattle station that stretches beyond the horizon, seven people are trapped by their history and the need to make a living. Trevor Wilkie, the good father, holds it all together, promising his sons a future he no longer believes in himself. The boys, free to roam the world’s biggest backyard, have nowhere to go.
Trevor’s father, Murray, is the keeper of stories and the holder of the deed. Murray has no intention of giving up what his forefathers created. But the drought is winning. The cattle are ribs. The bills keep coming. And one day, on the way to town, an accident changes everything.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 他看上去并不像能跳过一头牛的样子，但是她知道他可以的。全凭他的一双手，正如他经常解释的那样，带着血腥的疯狂。
在牛站，七个人都被各自的过去和谋生的欲望所牵绊。特雷弗•威尔基是一位好父亲，将七人团结在一起，并许诺给儿子连他自己都不相信的未来。男孩在这世界上最大的后院狂奔，却再无他处可去。
特雷弗的爸爸，莫瑞是故事的持有者和地契的保存者。莫瑞坚定地要守护祖辈创造的基业。但是干旱日益严重，牛都骨瘦如柴，账单接踵而至。然而有一天，镇上发生的一件事故改变了一切。(XAT)
