Elizabeth Preston captures a moment in time when prejudices and cruelty ran rampant throughout the English-occupied land of Australia. Alice is a wonderfully complicated heroine--confident yet unsure, bold and unwilling to yield to whatever anyone else wants. This is a very passionate story, although short, it is accurate in historical detail and well written. As a reader, I always enjoy authors who step off the well worn path of traditional settings or relationships and give us something unique to read.I'd recommend this book to my friends for a quiet afternoon read.
