Ruth pulled me into the book. She's determined, completely lacking in self-pity and she lives in the mind long after you've finished the book. Some of the lesser characters don't come off the page quite so strongly and I did struggle with one or two to distinguish them one from the other. It's a minor quibble though in an otherwise very good read and I'd like to thank the author for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
For a travel book which samples this part of the world we can recommend [[Wanderlust by Elisabeth Eaves]]. For a book about small-town Australia , you might like to try [[Nights in the Asylum by Carol Lefevre]], but we did find it rather disappointing. We did enjoy [[The Good Mother by Kim Lock]] and [[The Art of the Engine Driver by Steven Carroll]].
