Ah, and the story unfolds to reveal more of the truth. As the children grow in this story and form friendships that will hopefully last a lifetime, the political and social war rages on between the Europeans and the true natives of Australia. I'm anxious to read more about what happens with Harry in the next book, and I hope to see that Emily and Jarrah's stories are expounded.I found myself frustrated with Lesley and proud of Iain in this story for his courage when it came to the children and helping his sister. There were times that I was truly afraid for the characters and others that I felt elated for them when they were past their hardships. I can only imagine that there will be more adversities in the future for all of the characters.There is a fine line between being able to explain the history of a nation and the ability to keep the characters' stories in place and this author never missteps. The story is well balanced.
