What a time for Australian female writers and for Australian Historical fiction!! Have previously read Tea Cooper and enjoyed her strong female characters. Evie and Lettie are no exception!

I always look forward to a new book from Tea Cooper. Love historical fiction and especially well researched Australian historical fiction.
This new title is a enthralling story of a family torn apart by secrets and death. Set in the Hunter Valley in the late 1880s and early 1900s . A long lost illustrated map by Evie Ludgrove is found by her niece Letitia Rawlings after 30 years and the search begins for answers to the mystery of Evie’s disappearance. A must read for fans of historical fiction and a well crafted family mystery.
