This memoir of rural New Zealand life presents a vivid account of Mona Anderson’s years at Mount Algidus Station, a remote high-country sheep farm nestled in the Southern Alps. As a cornerstone of New Zealand pastoral literature, the book chronicles the rhythms of station life, the challenges of isolation, and the resilience demanded by the land. Anderson instructs readers in the customs, hardships, and quiet triumphs of a community shaped by weather, livestock, and grit. Her prose illustrates the stark beauty of the alpine landscape and the enduring spirit of those who call it home. The narrative captures both the physical labor and emotional depth of a life lived far from urban comforts.
