From Australia's Queen of Fiction, the international best-selling author of 13 novels, comes a compelling story of family secrets and lies.
A valley, nestled between rugged peaks, is divided by a magnificent river - and within its peaceful green contours are held the secrets of generations of tribes, families, and loners who have come under its spell. Some secrets are never shared, never told.
One woman returns and begins asking questions, and discovers the story of a forgotten valley pioneer whose life becomes entwined with hers. But in looking into her own family's history, she uncovers more than she ever expected - and what her mother hoped would always remain a secret.

"I recently finished "the silent country" and forgot I had read this a year or two ago. Very good. Very similar to 'the secret river' by Kate Grenville. Character re-discovers her family history. Based in NSW." — Karen (4 out of 5 stars)

" I really enjoyed this book,great read "
" Not as good as her others but ok. "
" Not as good as the Tears of the Moon series, but interesting in the desires to keep Australia from being over developed. "
" read like a first draft - or proposal for a tv series? Character treatment very shallow. "
" Di Morrissey is an Australian author. Her books aren't too difficult to read and she always writes about a place. The Valley is set in the Australina bush and it is story of an early female pioneer and the troubles she met when establishing her home in the Valley. "
" another good book by di "
" This was a good read but I didn't enjoy it as much as "The Silent Country". In that regard it was a bit disappointing. I would still recommend it though. "
" History of the North Coast area. Great read about Australia "
" Ok as an easy read "
" This book was so hard to get through, I read it on and off over months and months, The only reason I kept going was because it was a gift from my mother-in-law. "
