When an unexpected discovery disrupts a quiet life in the heart of the Australian Outback, an ordinary woman's world turns extraordinary. Cash! by Suzanne Visser is a gripping novella that delves into the moral complexities and emotional turbulence that follow the unearthing of a hidden fortune.
Accompanied by her dog, Red, our protagonist stumbles upon a tree trunk filled with rolls of hundred-dollar bills. What begins as a curious find quickly spirals into an exploration of greed, fear, and the burdens of sudden wealth. From cautious secrecy to wild fantasies of spending, she wrestles with ethical dilemmas and the practical challenges of living with-and potentially hiding-a massive sum of money.
Set against the stark, arid landscape of the West MacDonnell Ranges, Cash! offers a narrative filled with suspense and philosophical reflections. Visser masterfully crafts a story that is as thought-provoking as it is thrilling, leaving readers to ponder: What would and should you do if you found a fortune?
