The Kurrajong Tree Elinor Martin

Three very different Victorian women leave Britain to make new lives for themselves in New South Wales. They cannot anticipate the circumstances awaiting them or know that, in a small town on the western slopes of the colony, friendship, love and marriages will link them forever. A true family tale that reads like an epic adventure story, The Kurrajong Tree mesmerizes with its authentic language and detailed descriptions of colonial life. Its pages are alive with real-life drama as the characters face personal tragedies, a vengeful neighbour and violent outlaws. Meticulous research and imaginative storytelling combine to reveal the loves and lives of three remarkable women.
