‘Drystone is as beautifully rendered as the walls De Garis creates’ - THE BOOKSELLER

'An incredibly powerful debut, Drystone - A Life Rebuilt is an account of survival, strength, and quiet transformation that stays with you long after the final page. Written with clarity and compassion, it reflects not only life’s hardest moments, but its tender, deeply human ones too. A life-affirming work.' -

Rebecca Smith, Author of Rural: The Lives of the Working Class Countryside
