This isn't my usual read but I was hooked from the start. The descriptions took me straight to the Australian outback in the 1800's. I wanted to know what was happening on every turn of the page.
The description is detailed and the main characters are likeable and believable. There are two stories twisting in and out of each other.
Teenage brothers Toby and Patrick are left on their own after witnessing the brutal murder of their parents at the family homestead.
Annie and Betty have arrived in Australia from England with their parents looking to make their fortunes prospecting for gold.
And a story like this always needs a villian.
This is a story with many ups and downs, full of adventure. I couldn't put it down.
