It's the end of the Second World War; Australia. Billabong Ghost by Ryn Shell is based on real characters. Very interesting and haunting. Of course as others may have said the vocabulary takes some getting used to, but Ryn was awesome to give us a Glossary. The rest is simple context, and logic. I don't personally believe in ghosts, but I believe the subject was handled very masterfully by Ryn. Anyone who enjoys a good western, and Australian and Aboriginal culture is going to love this book. Charlotte falls for cattle rancher Alan Fife; a cattle baron living outside Sydney. They become involved and after their passionate affair eventually leads to Charlotte's mysterious death!She becomes The Billabong Ghost helping others as a guiding spirit. Now she is left to haunt the billabong where the cattleman come to water their stock! Enjoy!
