Description
Her husband was killed in the Great War, and his wife was dead. So why not join forces and build a new life for themselves in Australia? Andrew needs no persuasion: his children are motherless and he lives in a Lancashire town with no prospects. Yet for Norah, the very idea seems ridiculous... The government will give ex-servicemen a farm providing that they clear the land themselves. The only thing he needs is a wife to join him and time is short. But when Norah's father dies, there's show more nowhere for her or her daughter to go. It may be madness to follow a man she barely knows to an untamed land of heat, spiders and endless bush far from home, but it may also be the answer to all her dreams. show lessTags
