Do you ever approach a book with a preconceived notion as to how it will be only to have that notion disintegrate as you get into the story? That's my experience with this book. I wasn't prepared for the raw brutality of the story or for her chequered past. The story alternates between the present and the past; between the damp greenness of England and the sunburnt dryness of Australia. She paints a very convincing portrait of life among the sheep-shearers and doesn't hold back in her description. All in all it was a pretty good story but I felt like I had to drag her past out of her one page at a time all the way to the end of the book. I'm not sure I liked the ending - I somehow felt cheated by it.
