Not the Same Sky by Evelyn Conlon

3.0

An interesting book about a little-known aspect of Australia's history: the importation of ore than 4000 Irish girls and young women to become servants, wives and mothers in the new colonies. Conlon's style takes time to engage with, while the wrap-around contemporary story didn't work for me, but the book reimagines early lives with empathy and insight.
