"Blown away by Alison Stuart’s ability to weave an entrancing story of love and betrayal. Entwining lives with the harshness of the early goldfields and the beauty and uniqueness of the Australia bush immersing the reader into that very time and place. A vivid portrayal of a strong, vulnerable, beautiful woman with a social conscience that compels reading until the very last page." Carol, Australia
