| Summary | "The Sweep Winner" by Nat Gould is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of rural Australia, following the life of Glen Leigh, a solitary keeper of a rabbit-proof fence, as he navigates themes of survival and human connection. The narrative initially immerses the reader in the harsh, arid conditions of the countryside, setting the stage for the arrival of a mysterious young woman whose presence brings emotional complexity to Leigh's life. The opening of the novel introduces Glen Leigh as he tends to the vast and desolate rabbit-proof fence, revealing his character as a strong but enigmatic man. Shortly thereafter, he discovers an unconscious woman in his hut, leading to a narrative that intertwines their lives amidst the challenges of the Australian wilderness. As Glen grapples with her mysterious past and his growing feelings for her, Jim Benny, another fence keeper, soon enters the scene, further complicating their triangle. The tension builds as the characters deal with their individual struggles and pasts, hinting at deeper secrets that may unravel as the story progresses.
