Set in 1800s Australia at the time of the Gold Rush. This is an adventure centred around two brothers, Paddy and Toby. They’ve faced some tragedy and hardship and meet another family who have also faced tragedy. Together they all support each other.
This type of story isn’t what I would normally read, I usually prefer thrillers or crime novels.
The opening of the book is quite dramatic and draws you in to the story. The characters are brilliantly developed and I found myself caring about what happened to them and hoping for the best for the brothers and their family.
Some events I had second guessed and found them unsurprising. I did find that some parts dragged on a little for me, but I still enjoyed the story and it was certainly different to my usual genre.
