'Spanning the century from 1830 to the First World War and the Great Depression comes this dramatic story of three generations of Australian women. Bestselling author Margaret Reeson evokes with warmth and insight the pain and progress, joy and tragedy of Anna, Mary and Grace – mother, daughter and granddaughter.
'Here is the stuff of real history – a giant canvas depicting the rich and varied lives of those who, despite great obstacles, turned survival into courage, sadness into contentment and confusion into certainty.' (Publication summary)
