HIGHLY recommend

Honestly, I am utterly blown away by this gorgeous book. In this case, there is much more than a beautiful cover.

The writing, character development, and storyline are fantastic. Now, if you loved, Weyward, this is not the same book. If you are open-minded about the author somewhat changing genres, then this is a good book choice for you. However, if you want another, Weyward, this is not the novel for you.  

This is heavily character-driven and takes about a third of the novel to set up the storyline. The 1999/2019 storylines of two Australian sisters merge fantastically with the 1800s storyline of two Irish sisters on a convict ship to Australia.  

I will be thinking about this brilliant novel for a long time. I hope that you do too and give it a read!
