I try not to jump into any series midstream, but I slip up from time to time. Thankfully, Lena Dowling's His Convict Wife is a standalone sequel so I wasn't at much of a disadvantage jumping into book two of the series.Not having read much Australian fiction, I found I really enjoyed the setting of this piece, as well as the convoluted backgrounds Dowling crafted for her cast. Taking her cues directly from the continent's colonial history, the narrative boasts an authentic atmospheric quality that held genuine appeal for this particular reader.A light romance, His Convict Wife is an amusing, if predictable, beach read.
