Summary	"A novel based on Eve Langley's own experiences, Steve and Blue are two sisters who, adopting masculine attire, seek freedom in Gippsland, Victoria, where they pack apples and pick peas. But their disguise is only partial - and their quest is for love. For Blue the novel ends in marriage ; but not for Steve. For her, desire is never straightforward, and love - for men, for women, for country - leaves her confused, but independent. A celebration of Australia, a joyful book marked by the vigour of a youthful narrator wandering the byways of a young nation." -- Back cover
