Big, sweeping, multi-generational story in Australia. I didn't think I would like this one, but I was completely enthralled. Probably had a lot to do with Meggie and Fee. I don't think I would make any of the decisions that these women did, but I completely understood where they were coming from. They all felt very real. The men, not so much. There were a lot of sad and shocking moments. I wasn't that interested in the romance plot, but it worked well enough.
