Buy it ! I absolutely loved this book ! I am a fan of historical fiction and Blood in the Dust did not let me down. There are no chapters in the book, initially I thought this odd, but once I started reading I understood why. You can’t put it down! You just want to keep reading! The story is set in Australia in the 1850s. When people travelled to Australia for a better life and the prospect of striking it lucky finding gold. The story’s main characters are brothers Toby and Paddy. Their story unfolds involving murder, injustice, theft, romance and more.
The characters and events are so descriptive and vivid, you feel like your there and part of the action. I loved the story included Aborigines (good and bad) as well as settlers.
I throughly enjoyed Blood in the Dust and look forward to reading more from Bill Swiggs, hopefully a sequel, please ?
Just a note there is a rape and attempted rape which were rough and may trigger readers.
