I enjoyed the entire read Anne. It's lovely that your earlier books are still appreciated. Thank you for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice write up, Anne. It's lovely to see books about Colonial Australia. I like to see strong women characters getting on with their lives. So much harder for them in that era.
