Summary "Plain Living: A Bush Idyll" by Rolf Boldrewood is a novel set in late 19th century Australia. The story follows Harold Stamford, a pastoral tenant grappling with the bleakness and uncertainty brought about by a severe drought that threatens his livelihood and family. As he struggles to hold onto his home and the modest life he's built, the novel explores themes of resilience, familial bonds, and the stark contrasts between rural hardships and urban life. The opening of the novel introduces Mr. Stamford as he reflects on his dire circumstances while riding home. Haunted by a letter from his banker that reveals a disastrous financial outlook, Stamford's internal conflicts are palpable as he considers the future of his family amidst the devastating drought. The narrative shifts between his despair and the optimism offered by his son Hubert, who encourages him to remain hopeful. Stamford's family, composed of his supportive wife, Linda, and his children, plays a crucial role in his struggles. The opening sets the stage for Stamford's journey of endurance and hope as he faces the trials of bush life, deeply connected to the land and his loved ones.
