The Goldminer's Sister by Alison Stuart
4.0
I have recently discovered historical fiction, and found that I really enjoy it. Especially stories set in Australia. The Gold Miner's Sister was a wonderful story that had me transported back to 1873 rural Victoria. Alison Stuart brought the gold mining town of Maiden's Creek to life with her vibrant characters and descriptions of the beautiful landscapes. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the past.
Eliza Penrose has travelled from England to see her brother Will after 5 long years. Only when she arrives things are not as she expected them to be. What she finds is a town full of secrets, betrayal and lies. Alec McLeod is also new to town, travelling from Scotland after losing his wife and daughter. His heart is broken and he vows to never give it away again.
There is romance, there is action and there is struggle. Being a woman in 1873 was not easy, thankfully we have come along way in changing things. Stories and characters in this book are based on reality. Fans of this genre will love it.
Thanks to Harlequin Australia and Netgalley for my advanced copy of this book to read.
