The Pea Pickers by Eve Langley
Set in the 1920s, this novel follows the spirited journey of two sisters, Steve and Blue, who disguise themselves as men to work as itinerant laborers in the Australian countryside. Their adventures are filled with the vibrant landscapes of Gippsland, the camaraderie of fellow workers, and the challenges of living in a male-dominated world. Through their experiences, the sisters explore themes of identity, freedom, and the quest for belonging, all while navigating the complexities of love and friendship in a society that often restricts women's roles.
