This work was originally published in 1992.  For the most part it was well written. There were two things that bothered me. The first was the strange deviations from the singular POV. The story is written from Olivia's POV only. But there are strange descriptions of her that sound like they should come from Guy. Either that, or she's vain.The second thing is more a personal preference. I found her to be somewhat silly and self absorbed. She's afraid of horses, snakes, insects, blood, etc. She's supposed to be doing everything for the young boy David but there was only one scene where there was any evidence that she cared for him.In the end, I was not convinced that she would ever be happy living in the outback for ever.
