Just arrived from USA through BM.
This is the story of Philadelphia Gordon, who was sent to live on the banks of the Murray River in Australia with her aunt and uncle after the lost of her parents when she was 13 years old.
The book describes the Midwestern pioneer life in the beginning of 20th century. It should be pointed out that, at that time, the rivers were the practical way to travel through this huge country.
Surprisingly, the author gave an artistic ability to the main character, a pioneer woman who was used to face the difficulties of survival along the river she loved so much.
A TV mini series All the Rivers Run (1983– ) was made based on this book.
