I was given a copy of A Greater World by Clare Flynn in exchange for an honest review. The story is set around 2 characters Micheal and Elizabeth. Micheal has just returned from the war when there is a tragic accident and leaves for Ustrslia. Elizabeth is living with her sister and receives a letter from her father with a ticket to join him in Australia where she must marry his friend Mr Kidd. The pair meet on the ship to Australia and become friends but events take a turn and they are separated in Australia. This is a well written story with likable characters.

A rollercoaster of a novel, I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend it.

I enjoyed reading the story of Elizabeth and Michael - two people from very different social rankings, who were forced to leave their homes in England to start anew in Australia during the 1920s. This is a story of adventures, tragedy, love, betrayal, hope, redemption and new beginnings. Well written with strong characters who I really liked. This book kept me engrossed right from the start, with plenty of twists and turns and a very satisfying ending.

I shall look out for more books by Clare Flynn and am looking forward to her next book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

A fabulous read that will keep you captivated from the first page.
For anyone wanting a saga with every available emotion, this is just for you. A wonderfully written book.

I enjoyed reading the story of Elizabeth and Michael - two people from very different social rankings, who were forced to leave their homes in England to start anew in Australia during the 1920s. They met on the boat journey to Australia and the story follows how things unfolded for each of them in the this new ‘greater’ world.

It makes for a good historical romance with lots of occurrences over a number of years. You will certainly feel for both Elizabeth and Michael with what fate (or the actions of others) had in store for them. It is quite epic with a lot happening entailing life and death, city and country existence, family and friends, love and ruin just to name a few. The hardships they endure is cruel at times, however, nothing was to be easy in starting over with nothing.

The true vision of this story I believe, is about enduring and overcoming circumstances to build resilience and inner strength to do what is right and just with the cards life has dealt you. Both the main and secondary characters were well executed, my only concern is that there were a few too many convenient encounters throughout the story that you have to simply let go of and just ride with them on the journey of unfolding events. However, I read to escape, not to question, therefore it’s a good experience if a little contrived.

An easy and enjoyable read that I believe fairly accurately captures life back then, the hardships for women and the strength and fortitude to overcome them in the long run.

A beautiful saga set just after the First World War.
Elizabeth has grown up with privileges but when her mother dies and her father goes to Australia her world shatters into pieces.
Michael lost his elder brother in the war and due to a tragic accident kills his younger brother.
Filled with untold remorse he goes to Liverpool and catches the first ship that he can which takes him to Australia.
On the voyage he meets Elizabeth who has had no option but to join her father.
They immediately fall in love but the course of true love never runs smooth and theirs is no exception.
A great read which from the very first page has you enthralled.
A real page turner.

A Truely inspirational book of how two people from different backgrounds meet and share a joy together can they find what there really looking for a very gripping story that kept me totally captivated from being to end can highly recommend this book to family and friends.

From start to finish this book held me. I really enjoy Clare Flynn's style of writing of modern history.
Two complete strangers meet by chance of a ship sailing to Australia, they are from completely different social lifestyles but they find a strong connection.
Circumstances beyond their control lead them on different paths and not always for the best.
Can they both put their past behind them? Keep their inner secrets safe?
Can their new life in Australia heal their broken hearts?
