I picked this up from the table in Mary Martin Bookshop while I was out trying to find the aforementioned “Distraction”. I simply cannot enter a bookshop and not buy something….I am utterly and unapologetically hopeless!
There were three things that made me add it to my shopping!
1. “McKellar”. Firstly I wondered if this Author is in some way related to Dorothea McKellar? (Apologies to the author – she probably gets this alot!)
2. The front cover review….
“MacKellar makes terrifically vivid the often unsung strength of women brave in their new worlds.”…Anna Funder
And
3. This book is a representation of true stories of women and their lives.
I love books like this. Will start this one on the train tonight in the absence of “Distraction”…funny distracted from reading “Distraction”.
Well, thanks for trying, Tannia.
I know Readings, Reader’s Feast and (some) Dymocks stock my book.
If you find it (fingers crossed), I hope you enjoy it.
Oh. Wait. Mary Martin.
Adelaide, yes?
Imprints bookshop should have some copies (and if not now, then soon).
