The Vines of Yarrabee
Submitted by Karen on August 2, 2011 - 9:38pmSet in Australia in the early days of colonization, this is the story of Yarrabee, a vineyard, and the people whose lives it dominated - Gilbert Massingham who created it and was obsessed by it, Eugenia his fastidious and sensitive English bride, and the convict woman, Molly Jarvis. Also the bibulous old Mrs Ashburton, Colm O'Connor, Irish artist and remittance man, Eugenia's and Gilbert's children, the convict servants who built the house and tended the vines.
