This is a terrific exploration of life in Australia in the mid 1800's. The main character is a beautifully drawn young girl facing some harsh challenges and the author navigates historical waters with skill and sensitivity. There are real insights here and the book doesn't shy away from some of the uglier side of life of the early settlers and the exploitation of the Aboriginal people at the time. But there is real heart here and plenty of reasons a reader would draw insights and hope from the story. Highly recommended
